When it’s Time to Sell
Planned Sale
When a business owner is ready to cash-out, the choice of business broker is vital. If you have time before your planned sell date, LGA’s business advisory team can help you maximize the value of your business and prepare a Sell-Side Deck; a living document that tells your business’ story, both qualitatively and quantitatively. If it’s time to sell now, our investment banking team will work with you to prepare presentation materials, identify and vet potential buyers, and negotiate an equity or asset sale agreement.
Opportunistic Sale
If you’re running a profitable business, you may one day answer the phone to find that someone wants to make an offer to buy you out. Most business owners would be caught totally off-guard for this. Whether you ultimately decide to do a deal or not, you’ll want an experienced SEC registered advisor to guide you through the process of evaluating the potential buyer, valuing your business, and negotiating an equity or asset deal.
