Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about M&A and business succession. If you have any other questions or need more details, feel free to reach out to us directly. Our experienced M&A advisors are here to assist you.
1. Can an M&A be done for a company in a rural area?
Absolutely! We can help you with M&A regardless of your location. We offer free visits anywhere in the country, and many of the companies we’ve worked with have been based in local or rural areas.
2. How long does the M&A process take?
The fastest deal we’ve closed took only 63 days from the initial request. We start by selecting 500-800 potential buyers from our database. The process includes interviews, due diligence, and contract finalization. With our experienced advisers, we minimize unnecessary delays, ensuring a smooth, fast process focused on achieving results.
3. What are the fees for M&A intermediary services?
Our fee structure is completely success-based. We don’t charge any retainer or interim fees—our focus is on securing a successful deal for you. For more details, please refer to our “Fee Structure” page.
4. Will my company’s confidential information be protected during the M&A process?
We take confidentiality very seriously. Your sensitive information will be protected at all times. Before sharing any details with potential buyers, we ensure that an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is in place. If you work with multiple intermediaries, the risk of leaks increases, so we recommend signing an exclusive contract with one intermediary to safeguard your data.
5. Can I consult with you even if I’m not sure about proceeding with M&A?
Of course! Feel free to reach out for a consultation. We’re happy to discuss your situation, answer your questions, and help you explore the best options for your business.
6. Can M&A be done if the company is making a loss this year?
Yes, we’ve successfully facilitated M&As for companies that are currently making losses. The consultation is free, so feel free to contact us to discuss your situation.
7. How is the M&A transfer price determined?
The transfer price is calculated by evaluating your company’s tangible assets, profits, intangible assets, and specialized know-how. We also take into account your goals and preferences in setting the final transfer price.
8. Can I sell or transfer only part of my business?
Yes, there are options like business transfers and company splits that allow you to sell or transfer part of your business. Contact us, and we’ll guide you through the best approach.
9. Will the CEO remain involved after the M&A transaction?
It depends on your preferences. In some cases, the CEO continues in a leadership role after the transfer, while in others, they may choose to retire. We can structure the transition in line with the CEO’s wishes.
