Preparing Your Company for Sale

UToledo Family Business Center Season 1 Episode 7

Once you have made the choice to explore a potential sale or acceptance of investment from outside persons, how do you prepare your company for the process?

Join the UToledo Family Business Center and Shumaker for a webinar to review the best practices for readying your company for market and the transaction process, including:

  • Negotiating agreements with investment bankers or brokers to market your business for sale.
  • Reviewing and updating business agreements and processes to maximize value in the sale process.
  • Review and adoption of executive/key employee agreements and compensation for high value employees’ continued employment post-transaction.
  • Accepting private equity investment and participating in future roll-up and acquisition increases in value.
  • Full disposition of your ownership and transitioning to a fixed temporary employment.
  • Earn-outs, contingent additional purchase price amounts and other considerations in the negotiated purchase price.
