Special-situations
A special-situation is any scenario where an SME business owner wants to sell or exit their business but there are specific issues preventing or complicating it.
We help the owner resolve the issue or unravel the complexity by structuring the acquisition deal to allow their desired exit to be achieved.
This can often involve the following scenarios:
- Businesses facing legal or compliance issues
- Businesses undervalued due to owner-dependence
- Creditors that are unwilling to negotiate acceptable terms for continued operation
- Retiring owners that want to ensure continuity for their team with specific conditions that deter conventional investors
- Businesses in distress due to poor management or operational issues that require a turnaround
- Sellers that prefer dealing with business-minded people over corporate-minded brokers.
We focus on acquiring UK based SME businesses that have established revenues and infrastructure, we do not invest into start-ups or ‘pre-revenue’ businesses.
We’re interested in both special situations and the purchase of healthy businesses from their founders or family owners.
We can provide a fixed-fee consultation service or acquire the business ourselves through a structured deal.
Each deal is unique and structured on a case by case basis. We strive to work quickly, keep everything as simple as possible while aiming for a win-win outcome for all parties.
