- A clear picture of maintainable profit, with one-off items identified
- Key customer and supplier contracts, signed and in date
- Employment contracts and a note of any key-person dependency
- Property leases, licences and any regulatory approvals
- Company books, share register and any shareholder agreement
- A short statement of what the business would look like without you
- An agreed position among shareholders on price and timing
Share sale or asset sale
| Consideration | Share sale | Asset sale |
|---|---|---|
| What changes hands | The shares in the company, with the business, contracts and history attached. | Selected assets and trade. The company itself stays with the seller. |
| Contracts and consents | Usually continue, subject to any change-of-control clauses. | Often need to be assigned or renegotiated with each counterparty. |
| Liabilities | Pass with the company, so buyers diligence harder and seek warranties. | Generally stay behind, which buyers often prefer. |
| Usual preference | Typically favoured by sellers. | Typically favoured by buyers. |

Most owners start with a conversation and a considered view of value. Both are confidential, and neither commits you to going to market.
Talk it through confidentially
A direct conversation about your position, your timing and whether a sale is the right route.
Start a confidential conversationUnderstand what it is worth
A considered valuation based on your accounts and your sector, not an automated estimate.
