Sell an Engineering Company

Although engineering in the UK has declined in recent times mergers and acquisition activity in the sector is quite high at the moment.

Potential purchasers of your business will fall into one of four main categories:

• Trade buyers looking to increase market share and expand their product range.
• Private Equity firms seeking to add engineering companies to an existing portfolio or to enter the sector.
• Management buy-in individuals and teams with experience in the sector.
• Private investors.

Different buyer types will make different value judgements. It is vital that the opportunity to purchase your company is placed in front of as many serious potential purchasers as possible so appointing the right advisors is crucial.

At Ventura, we take time to understand your business, its strengths, weaknesses, the opportunities and the threats. 

We will give you our opinion on the value of your company, but we never place an asking price on a client business initially. Once we how strong your business fits with a potential purchaser, their reason for acquisition our negotiating position and parameters will be discussed and agreed with you.

When we first engage with you we think like buyers think and our experience in the engineering sector enables us to advise on whether the time is right for you to sell.  If we do not believe you will be able to extract maximum value at the present time we will tell you.

Whether you want to sell immediately or at some time in the future call or email us for an initial informal and confidential discussion. 

All of our clients are dealt with personally by a director from instruction to completion.
