Business owners wanting to hoist the ‘for sale’ sign often turn to their accountant as the first crucial step to selling their greatest asset, which may not always be a good thing, says international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) specialist BCMS Corporate.
BCMS Corporate, which sells more mid-market private companies in the UK than any other corporate finance house, is offering those who are considering a sale now or within the next three years – as well as those who are just curious about the value of their business – the chance to attend a free seminar on 14 June at the Cotswold Water Park, South Cerney near Cirencester.
One in a series of half-day seminars taking place across the country over the next six months, the event will present seasoned M&A experts who will answer delegates’ questions as well as give advice on hot topics, such as finding ideal potential buyers, generating a competitive bidding process, and negotiating and closing the right deal for the maximum value.
The event’s two sessions contain examples of companies that have been brought to market successfully (or unsuccessfully), providing business owners in the Cotswolds region with insights into the factors that can influence a business sale as well as revealing why so many companies fail to sell, what motivates buyers to pay more and more importantly how to get the maximum value.
At the end of the seminar delegates will be given an invaluable 78-point check list to get them started on their journey to a successful business sale as well as a copy of the publication “A Refreshingly Different Approach to Selling your Business for its Maximum Value”.
Dave Rebbettes, director of BCMS Corporate, said: “These informative, fast-paced sessions aim to give owners and shareholders of businesses with a turnover exceeding £1 million in the Cirencester area sound advice based on 20 years’ experience of selling businesses. By the end of the seminar, attendees will know how to go about generating maximum value for their business, which will consequently give them the financial freedom to spend more time with family and friends, or even to get started on their next project.”
On average, BCMS Corporate generates offers for companies that are 40% higher than traditional valuations. The key points outlined at this half-day event have been pioneered by the M&A specialist and have proven to generate final offers that are 2.5 times higher than the initial bid for a company. Some 2,500 delegates attended these seminars last year alone.
