1. Get A Valuation
After an efficient intro meeting, we tell you how much your business is worth to buyers in today’s market.
We support entrepreneurs to get the exit they deserve when selling their business.
The creative spirits. The underdogs. The resolute. The determined. The outsiders. The independent thinkers. The fighters and the true believers.
These are the entrepreneurs with whom we guide through the acquisition process. They are extremely rare. And we are thrilled to work with them.
Our team mirrors the entrepreneurs with whom we partner up: hungry overachievers with a deep-rooted need to win. Many come from humble backgrounds. Many formed or built companies of their own before joining P4i. We share the mindset of an entrepreneur, and know what it means to walk that path.
A straightforward and personalized process that is constructive and effective.
2. Gather Details
Our team creates insightful documentations that give buyers the key details about your business.
3. Buyer Outreach
We have deep-seated relationships with specific strategic, financial and entrepreneurial buyers who are interested in forward-thinking companies.
4. Management Meeting
You meet interested buyers over MS Teams or in person! This stage is just as much about you interviewing buyers as it is about them interviewing you.
5. Offer Analysis
In most cases, there are several interested parties that submit offers. We will help you evaluate each one to ensure you are making the right decision.
6. LOI Signing
The Letter of Intent is a non-binding document that aligns all parties on the terms of the deal. Once signed, it sends the company into the Due Diligence Phase.
7. Due Diligence
Due Diligence is the buyers opportunity to look under the hood of your business. We guide the process in every step of the way and coordinate legal & financial negotiations.
8. Closing
You have crossed the finish line! We make sure transition documents are in-place and all parties are clear on post-closing responsibilities and requirements.
We turn the old rule book upside-down and shape a new way of M&A.
