Building Value
While our focus and reward are centred on successfully completed transactions, the team at Rockworth have a wealth of experience as both advisors and principals carrying out equity transactions. We are therefore increasingly involved, particularly during the current economic turbulence, working with clients that may be considering a transaction in the medium term, 6 – 24 months.
Key questions we address with business owners include:
- Why consider a sale or acquisition?
- Is equity fund-raising the most efficient way of raising capital in a particular scenario?
- What would the optimal management structure for the business going forward?
- What types of buyers are in the market and what strategic goals are they seeking to achieve through acquisition
- How might buyers go about valuing the business and what factors are important?
Sensible preparation can 'turbocharge' a company sale
