Selling Your Company
We specialise in the sale of privately owned engineering companies, both Family Companies and subsidiaries of Engineering Groups. Our main objective is to secure the best deal for the shareholders within an agreed timescale and in a discrete environment.
Family Companies
Selling the family business can be an emotional as well as a financial process. Non-financial considerations such as continuity of employment for the employees, retention of the property by the pension trust, on-going consultancy or use of the family name can often be important. Preparation for the family exit is also important and may include some restructuring, or even recruitment in order to maximise the shareholder value and their net proceeds after tax.
Subsidiaries
Selling off a small subsidiary can also have particular characteristics which warrant some careful pre-process consideration. The contractual and accounting implications of any intra-group trading, banking cross-guarantees, shared or centralised management or facilities, group insurance or VAT, intra-group debt in respect of group relief, divisionalised assets and many other group-specific issues may need attention before and during the transaction.
Hardy Transaction Management Ltd is skilled and experienced in both of these areas.
If you are thinking about selling your company, we will happily meet with you, ideally at the company, so that we can learn initially sufficient about the business to prepare a valuation and a review of the various exit options available and a suggested deal structure. There is no charge for this service.
