Selling a business is a process, not an event.

The decision to sell is usually years in the making. The sale itself deserves the same care. We act for owners across the full arc of an exit.

The engagement

Exit framing

What you want from the sale — financially, personally, and for the people in the business — and what that means for how the process should be run.

Preparation

Working with your accountant and other advisers to get the financial story, the operating structure and the information base ready for scrutiny.

Positioning the opportunity

Framing the business the way the right acquirer needs to see it — the growth story, the earnings quality, the reasons to pay properly.

Approach and negotiation

Identifying and approaching the right counterparties, managing competitive tension where it exists, and negotiating headline terms that hold up through documentation.

Managing to completion

Coordinating due diligence, holding the agreed deal together as documents are negotiated, and managing the inevitable late-stage pressure points.

The choice of lawyer is always yours

Throughout, we work alongside your existing legal, accounting and tax advisers. Where you choose to engage Daniel Jude Lawyers for the legal work, the two businesses coordinate closely — but the choice of lawyer is always yours.

Well suited to

Owners considering a full sale, a partial sell-down, or responding to an unsolicited approach; businesses typically privately held and owner-managed.

Start a conversation.

The first conversation is confidential, without obligation, and usually the most valuable hour of the process.
