Unparalleled access to middle market investors worldwide

You know your business better than anyone, however selling it to the best buyer and at the best price is a quite different matter. Investec has a core expertise in selling businesses; we have closed hundreds of sell-side deals in all major sectors.

Our clients hire us for our proven ability to assist them in reaching their strategic goals, whatever it takes. To ensure this, we commit significant time and resources to understanding your business before preparing it for sale, pre-screening the market to assess the best available options, tailoring the right process for the situation, and ultimately doing whatever is necessary to seamlessly execute the pre-defined deal. To ensure success, our team also leverages its extensive experience and unique capabilities, which include: deal intelligence, tactical, technical and project management skills, negotiation skills, and the all-important human touch to make the deal happen.

Questions our clients often come up with

  • I received an offer, now what? Why shall I hire an advisor to sell my business?
  • What’s the best timing to sell? Is my business fit for market?
  • How to define the relevant pool of buyers that will properly value my business?
  • How can I sell my business to my management team at best terms?
  • How to manage the release of sensitive business information while dealing with a buyer which is competing with my business?

Situations we frequently advise on include:

  • For family businesses, sale of a minority/majority stake up to 100% sale to a private equity or a strategic buyer
  • For corporates, sale of non-core subsidiaries or business units, including carve-outs
  • For founders & entrepreneurs : business succession via a up to 100% sale to a strategic buyer, or a sale to management team with the support of a private equity
  • For financial sporsors/private equity: sale of portfolio companies via a new private equity backed transaction or a strategic or trade exit

The Investec team has largely contributed to this important deal for our family, from a commercial perspective on the one hand but also, by finding an excellent succession solution which ensures the long-term existence of the group. The Investec team’s experience with finding succession solutions, the ability to anticipate and finally their deep sector knowledge were important assets for us in this project. We thank the whole team for the truly outstanding collaboration.
