In most cases, a potential buyer looking for a company to sell will try to reassure himself: he will make a financial analysis of the last three years, study the existing situation and try to build a forecast with what he sees… This analysis will often be unfavorable to you if you do not prepare it, that is why the optimization of the company’s assets is fundamental.
How to improve the image of your company before its transmission?
Organizational Grooming
Your company has been in operation for a long time, the employees know what they have to do and things have gradually become intertwined… For you, everything works but for a new manager, your organization may seem very complex or even confused. Potential buyers will analyze in detail the capacity of your company to function without you and to adapt to changes in the economic situation, … The ideal would be for you to be ISO-9001, this would demonstrate a level of organization in conformity with international standards in terms of quality organization, i.e. the capacity to satisfy the requirements of your customers. The managers who will remain in the company after its transfer must be able to run it on a daily basis. Our experts, specialists in process optimization, can help you to increase the value of your company during the transfer phase with this in mind.
Financial Grooming
Our experts intervene on your balance sheet in order to maximize the equity by increasing the reserves, incorporating the current accounts and proceeding, if necessary, to a capital increase (by playing on the fiscal leverage effect…).
An important work of reduction of the WCR (stocks and accounts receivable) is always possible (factoring…).
Some expenses can be capitalized, intangible assets can be created (brand, name…) and physical assets can be revalued…
Some provisions may not be justified anymore! In addition to the optimization of the company’s assets, we will seek to optimize your net result in order to meet the expectations of most buyers.
