Patrick Vandervelden, Managing Partner of Advisory Team, explains how expert guidance can enhance the efficiency of a business transfer.

 

 

A successful business transfer starts with thorough preparation and planning. It is essential to ensure your business is ready for transfer and that all necessary documentation and information are in order. This includes adequate, clear, and organised accounting, collecting all financial statements and legal documents, and presenting attractive figures to appeal to and convince potential buyers or investors.

An important aspect of preparation is properly structuring your business. This may involve reducing the owner's involvement in daily operations so that the business can continue to function without their direct input. It is also important to evaluate the fate of the company's real estate and its location to optimise the business's value.

A crucial step in the transfer process is the valuation of your business. This involves determining the financial value of your business based on various factors such as profitability, growth potential, and market value. An accurate valuation is essential to ensure a fair and successful transfer and to instill confidence in potential buyers or investors about the value of your business.

By carefully following these steps and preparing well for the transfer process, you lay a solid foundation for a smooth and successful business transfer.

It is important to seek professional advice and collaborate with experts who can guide you through each stage of the transfer to ensure the best possible outcome and to transfer your business with confidence to the next owner.
