Built a Business, but Don’t Have Someone to Take It Over?

Many owners reach a point where retirement is getting closer and their children have chosen different careers.

If that’s your situation, you can start planning what comes next.

Understanding your business’s value and exploring potential buyers can help you evaluate a sale on your own timeline. The price matters, along with your role after closing and the transition for your team.

If your essential service company generates at least $1M in EBITDA, let’s discuss your options.

Whatever system you use, keeping it accurate and current matters.

The Buyer Has a Long-Term Plan. Your Sale Should Support Yours.

When a private equity buyer approaches your service business, they may be looking to add it to a larger group they intend to sell in the future.

Understanding that plan can help you ask better questions about the offer in front of you.

What would you receive at closing? Would you keep equity invested? What role would you have after the transaction? How does the proposal compare with other buyer interest?

We help essential service owners work through those questions and negotiate their exit.

Let’s discuss your business and what you want from a sale.

Who’s Behind the Company Offering to Buy Your Business?

Private equity funds can invest on behalf of institutions such as pension funds, endowments, and other investors.

Understanding the buyer’s strategy can help you evaluate their interest in your company—and ask what they intend to do after the sale.

A clarification to this video: fund fees differ, and managers may receive management fees on committed capital even before buying businesses.

If you’re receiving acquisition calls, let’s discuss how to assess the buyer, the offer, and your alternatives.

Can Your Customer—or Buyer—Explain Your Value to Someone Else?

A strong pitch answers a straightforward question: “Why do I need this?”

It also gives the listener a simple way to explain the answer to the next person involved in the decision.

In this video, Oliver Bogner shares two sales principles that apply across industries: explain your value early and keep the message clear.

For essential service owners, that’s useful when selling your services and when preparing to present your business to potential buyers.

Getting Calls to Sell Your Business? Start by Understanding Your Options.

When several people approach you about buying your company, it can be difficult to tell who they are and what makes their offer different.

Some are buyers. Some represent buyers. Others advise sellers.

Before moving forward, ask about their role, acquisition experience, and financing. Then consider how you’ll evaluate their proposal against other opportunities.

We help essential service owners navigate those conversations and prepare for a competitive sale process.

If your company generates at least $1M in EBITDA, let’s discuss what comes next.

A Buyer Wants Your Company. What Are They Building?

If you own an elevator service or fire protection business, a buyer may want your company to anchor a new group—or become part of a business they already own.

Understanding that plan can help you ask better questions.

What role would your team play? Would you stay involved? Why does your company fit their strategy? How does their offer compare with other options?

In this video, Oliver explains the platform-and-add-on approach to acquisitions.
