Rocky Mountain Business Advisors' Proven Process
We Create a Smooth Business Sale Process from Start to Finish
Mergers and Acquisitions
For lower mid-market firms, (companies with revenues over $6 million), our Mergers and Acquisitions Team provides traditional M&A and strategic advisory services. We provide clients discrete, objective counsel, coupled with strategic valuation advice and innovative marketing of their businesses.
Our Process For Selling A Business
We believe that to best serve our clients, it’s necessary to identify and fully understand all objectives, as they relate to the sale of the business. Objectives can be concrete (i.e. e.g. maximizing transaction value) or intangible (e.g. ensuring employee positions). A thorough understanding of a client’s objectives, early in the process, helps identify potential obstacles to the completion of the business sale. It also helps us develop creative strategies to facilitate a successful sale of the business.
A Detailed Study Of The Business
We perform a detailed study of the client’s business to determine the company valuation, growth prospects, and value drivers, using standard metrics such as revenue and profit margins, expense trends, sales growth, and plant, property, and equipment values. We also consider the value of the brand, sales and marketing channels, the existence of proprietary products, technology, and processes, and whether a potential buyer could enhance any of these factors.
A Compelling Marketing Plan
We create a compelling marketing plan, and associated collateral, that communicate the entire scope of the opportunity for buyers.
Pre-Qualify Buyers
After we’ve documented objectives and completed the valuation and marketing plan, we identify and pre-screen potential buyers and reach out to them.
Negotiation for the Best Possible Outcome
Once we’ve engaged the potential buyer, we work tirelessly to negotiate the best possible terms for the sale of the business. When the term sheet is accepted by the buyer, we work with the buyer’s attorneys and accountants to complete the necessary documents for closing.
