Business Sales
Jamieson Corporate Services has particular experience in business sales, mergers and acquisitions worth between $500,000 and $20m of the following types (refer to our Track Record page and click on types of businesses below to go to additional information on each industry sector):
- Manufacturing
- Distribution and Trading
- Transport and Logistics
- Industrial and Trade Services
- Professional Services
- Retail
Our business sales process can be narrowly targeted through personal approaches to a small number of related industry buyers, or broadcast to capture responses from a wide range of prospective investors who wish to buy a business. See the Marketing Process page.
The first step in exploring proposed business sales with Jamieson is for us to listen to our prospective client’s objectives, review financial records, assess the strengths, risks and prospects of a business available for purchase and estimate the market value using accepted business valuation methods. For more information see Valuations.
Only when we have agreement on the market value with the business owner, and have formed the view that a timely result can be achieved, do we proceed to act as a broker to sell a business. For more information see About Us.
As required by law we then enter into a representation agreement which sets out the work we will do to sell a business and our fees as the authorised business broker. The agreement is drafted to meet our legal obligations and tailored for each owner and their specific business. A business sales inspection report is also provided to the owner which forms part of the agreement.
Business owners may need to obtain specialist advice to sell a business in the most favourably structured way. Examples are property valuations, plant and equipment valuations, and capital gains tax advice. We advise on what may be needed and as required work closely with the owner's accountants and solicitors.
