Business sale advice for established business owners
Thinking about selling the business you've spent years building?
Maybe you've made the decision. Maybe you haven't.
Either way, you'll want to understand what your business is realistically worth, whether the market is likely to pay it, who the right buyer might be and what happens to the people and customers you've spent years looking after.
T360P Complete Business Exit gives you one personally led process from understanding your options through to finding the right buyer and completing the sale.
No obligation. Completely confidential.
"An exit you can feel comfortable walking away from."
The outcome
An exit you can feel comfortable walking away from
Selling your business isn't simply about achieving the highest headline price.
It's about achieving the financial outcome you need, finding a buyer you're comfortable with and getting the transaction successfully through to completion.
For many owners, it also means knowing that the business, employees and customers they've spent years looking after are going to the right home.
That's what T360P Complete Business Exit is designed to help you achieve.
T360P Complete Business Exit
One personally led process from valuation to completion
T360P Complete Business Exit is our end-to-end business sale service.
From establishing a realistic valuation and preparing your business for market, through finding and qualifying buyers, negotiating offers, Heads of Terms and due diligence, Gavin remains your main adviser through to completion.
You continue running your business. We lead the sale around you.
How it works
One connected journey, from value to completion.
Stage 01
Value & Saleability
Understand what the numbers suggest your business is worth and whether the market is realistically likely to pay it.
Stage 02
Prepare
Gather the information buyers will need, prepare the Information Memorandum and organise the pre-sale information and data room.
Stage 03
Find Buyers
Identify and proactively approach potential acquirers confidentially.
Stage 04
Qualify
Assess buyer rationale, credibility, strategic fit, decision-making authority, proposed funding route and intended deal structure.
Stage 05
Assess Offers
Compare the whole deal, not simply the headline price.
Stage 06
Negotiate & HoT
Negotiate the commercial terms and progress the chosen buyer into Heads of Terms.
Stage 07
Due Diligence
Coordinate the process and help manage the inevitable questions, pressure and negotiation.
Stage 08
Completion
Work alongside the seller's professional advisers and remain involved through to completion.
A valuation tells you what the numbers suggest. Saleability asks whether the market is likely to pay it.

About Gavin
Personally led by Gavin Page
You won't be passed from the person who won your business to somebody else once you've signed.
Gavin Page, Founder and Director of Transition 360 Partners, remains your main adviser throughout the transaction.
Gavin has been on the other side of the table himself, having built a group through nine acquisitions.
That buyer-side experience matters when assessing offers, challenging deal structures, qualifying potential acquirers and understanding what a buyer is likely to look for during due diligence.
Personally led from the first confidential conversation through to completion.
Experience
We understand what buyers look for, because we've been buyers ourselves.
Before founding Transition 360 Partners Ltd, Gavin built and ran his own group of businesses, completing nine acquisitions as part of its growth.
He's experienced transactions as a buyer, business owner and adviser, and now uses that experience to help owners navigate their own exit.
Knowing what buyers look for, where they'll challenge the numbers and what can cause a deal to stall makes a difference when you're sitting on the seller's side of the table.

View completed dealsThe right buyer
The right deal isn't always the highest offer
£1.5 million from one buyer isn't necessarily better than £1.4 million from another.
We help you look beyond the headline number and understand what you're actually being offered.

We establish what matters to you before you're faced with competing offers, then help you assess potential buyers and deal structures against those priorities.
No false hope
Realistic advice. No false hope.
Nobody can honestly guarantee that your business will sell, exactly how long it will take or precisely what a buyer will ultimately pay.
We won't pretend otherwise.
What we can give you is a realistic assessment, a properly prepared business, proactive access to potential buyers, qualified conversations and clear feedback from the market.
If the market tells us something different from what we expected, we'll tell you.
We don't sell certainty that doesn't exist. We give you clarity about the uncertainty.

Communication
You shouldn't have to chase your adviser
While your business is actively marketed, you'll receive a weekly seller update, even when there hasn't been a major development.
You'll know what's happening with your business sale and what happens next.
Your weekly seller update
- Buyer activity
- Responses
- Live conversations
- Issues and blockers
- Next actions
From Gavin, every week your business is on the market.
Professional advisers
The right professional support around the transaction
You're always free to use your existing solicitor, accountant and tax advisers.
If you need additional support, T360P can also introduce you to independent experienced solicitors and accountants who understand business transactions.
They remain independently appointed professional advisers.
Gavin remains responsible for leading and coordinating the sale process.
Fees
Clear fees from the outset
Selling a business involves significant work before the first buyer is approached.
We've structured our Marketing Retainer so you no longer have to pay the whole amount on day one.
Marketing Retainer
50% on engagement
We begin valuation, preparation, information gathering, marketing materials and buyer research.
50% when ready to go to market
The remaining 50% becomes payable when the agreed sale preparation and marketing materials are substantially complete and T360P is ready to commence buyer approaches.

From there, Gavin can give you an initial view on:
Value · Saleability · Likely buyer market · Potential obstacles · Sensible next steps
No pressure. No unrealistic promises. No obligation. Completely confidential.
