Hear from our team about our proven process for selling your business successfully
Hi this short video will answer some key questions you might have about selling your business. Be sure to pause the video when the graphic shows on screen and go to the part of the video that's right for you.
If I'm selling my business what can I expect in the initial consultation?
Well good question, we'll sit down and discuss your vision, analyse the business performance over the past 3-5 years and create a personalised plan that aligns with your goals and any deadlines you have. We'll provide you with a realistic and accurate valuation of your business based on your industry and financial health. We avoid any inflated numbers, you'll get a true picture of your business's worth so you can sell it with confidence.
How do we find the perfect match for buyers and sellers?
Well that's easy, we leverage advanced data analytics and our extensive database of over 5.3 million companies to identify the best possible matches for you. This sophisticated system ensures a precise fit saving you valuable time and effort while maximising the value you receive in a transaction.
We have various methods of getting in front of your target audience such as direct mail, email marketing campaigns etc. The direct mail service is an additional cost to the package and is bespoke to your requirements. We can discuss this during your initial consultation, no worries.
What happens during negotiations?
We take charge of the negotiations for you. All parties will sign a non-disclosure agreement, NDA, before negotiations begin for strict confidentiality. Our experienced deal making team works diligently to secure the best possible deals, always prioritising your interests. This helps you to focus on running your business and letting us do what we're good at, which is selling your business.
How will I be kept informed throughout the process?
That's easy as well, we'll keep you in the loop every step of the way, from reviewing your offers, from potential buyers to making counter proposals. We want you to feel confident and informed about every decision throughout the selling process.
What information would be provided to prospective buyers?
That's easy enough, we'll provide a comprehensive information memorandum study of your business presented to prospective buyers with the most up-to-date information available and updated every month, something our competitors do not do. Prospective buyers can make informed decisions based on accurate and current data. This is so important and it stops us going backwards and forwards with various bits of information.
So what happens after a deal is agreed upon?
This is where it gets exciting. Our team of legal and financial experts handle all the complex paperwork to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transition. We'll be using our in-house commercial lawyer, our accountant, our HR specialist and our direct funding partners consisting of tier 1, 2 and 3 banks, they're the high street banks by the way, challenger banks and financial houses. This allows us to help you secure any necessary financing for the transaction, freeing you to focus on your business during this crucial phase.
Well, the main thing Gavin, how much does it cost to use your services?
Great question, we have a dedicated video just for pricing which will be linked somewhere around this video, please watch it.
Once a business deal has been negotiated and agreed, what are the next steps Gavin?
We move to heads of terms, detailing the deal's framework and projected timeline. We then proceed to the due diligence stage, ensuring a thorough understanding of the business. With all elements aligned, we orchestrate a seamless journey towards the target completion date.
With us, you're not just making a transaction, you're achieving your dreams of becoming an ex-business owner.
And finally, your success is our success.
We celebrate your achievements and take pride in being a part of your business journey. Transition 360 Partners doesn't simply facilitate transactions, we build long-lasting relationships. Our support extends beyond the closing if needed. We offer help and ongoing assistance to help you thrive in your new venture.
Are you ready to sell your business? Take the first step towards success by contacting Transition 360 Partners today for a free consultation.
We start with a confidential, no-obligation meeting to understand your business, motivations for selling, and desired timeline. We'll review your financial performance, operational structure, and growth trajectory. During this consultation, we'll explain our process, answer your questions, discuss realistic valuation expectations, and identify any potential challenges early. We'll also assess market conditions and buyer demand for businesses in your sector to set clear expectations from the outset.
Our team performs a comprehensive business analysis examining your financial statements, profit trends, customer concentration, supplier relationships, and competitive advantages. We assess your market position, growth potential, and any operational risks. Using multiple valuation methodologies—including revenue multiples, EBITDA analysis, and comparable sales data—we determine a realistic market value. We'll present our findings in a detailed valuation report, explaining the rationale behind our figures and identifying opportunities to enhance value before going to market.
We create a professional Information Memorandum showcasing your business's strengths, financial performance, and growth opportunities. Using our proprietary database of 65,000+ active buyers and our extensive industry contacts, we target qualified prospects who match your business profile. We proactively reach out to strategic buyers, private equity firms, and individual entrepreneurs. All enquiries are carefully screened—we verify financial capacity, assess strategic fit, and require NDAs before sharing detailed information. We manage all buyer communications, coordinate site visits, and facilitate due diligence while maintaining complete confidentiality.
Once we've identified serious buyers, we manage the negotiation process to secure optimal terms—not just on price, but also on payment structure, earn-outs, warranties, and transition support. We coordinate with solicitors, accountants, and other advisors to manage due diligence requests efficiently. We review all legal documentation, explain complex terms in plain English, and ensure your interests are protected throughout. We facilitate completion meetings, coordinate fund transfers, and support the handover process including staff communications and customer introductions. Our involvement continues until you've received payment and the transition is complete.
Most sales complete within 6-9 months, depending on your business type and buyer interest. We'll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation.
Your business details are kept strictly confidential. Buyers must sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving detailed information.
We provide end-to-end support, including due diligence management, negotiation, legal coordination, and transition planning.
We prepare professional marketing materials including an opportunity summary, information memorandum, and financial models to attract serious buyers.
Our valuations are based on actual business performance and market conditions, not inflated figures. We focus on finding the right buyer, not just the highest offer.
We work with trusted legal partners to manage contracts, due diligence, and completion. We explain everything in plain English so you understand each step.
No obligation business appraisal
Commission on completion
Valuation and business appraisals are free and without obligation. We work on a commission basis with modest upfront costs.
At Transition 360 Partners Ltd we believe it is essential that both the prospective client and ourselves have a clear understanding of the potential value of a business before we are engaged to manage the sales process. Therefore, we spend the time to perform a valuation and business appraisal on a "free and no obligation" basis.
We work on the understanding that the vast majority of our fees are received in the form of commission only when the transaction completes and our client themselves receives payment for the sale of their business.
This is based on the total Enterprise Value of the sale price agreed for the company, whether a Share Purchase or Asset Purchase:
5% of Enterprise Value
For transactions with an Enterprise Value of less than £1,000,000
2.5% of Enterprise Value
For transactions with an Enterprise Value of more than £1,000,000
The completion fee is payable upon successful completion of each transaction
Please be assured: If you decide to withdraw your business from sale for any reason, then no additional fees will be payable. We hope that this will not be necessary but, as in life and business, unexpected changes can take place and we believe our clients should not have surprises when it comes to fees.
Many of our clients advise us that they like our fee structure as it ensures we are fully committed to achieving maximum value throughout the entire sales process.
(All fees are quoted excluding VAT, which should be added at the prevailing rate.)
