Make your business ‘investor-ready’ for maximum capital return
Most people only get one chance to sell their business and capitalise on years of hard work and planning. Get the deal right and you could become very rich.
Laced with proven tactical advice and guidance, this Briefing will show you how to identify the right buyer and drive the deal to get the best outcome with the minimum of risk.
As the author, Barrie Pearson, states: “This Report distils over 30 years of my deal making, both as a principal and a corporate finance adviser, to reveal the trade secrets people are unaware of because these are simply neither talked nor written about.
The whole Report is laced with proven tactical advice, because tactics determine whether there will be a deal or not. The reality is that tactical mistakes lose deals which should have been won; an unforgivable failure.”
As a business owner or group executive, you will learn all about:

‘The first time we sold a business we didn’t know Barrie Pearson at the time and we didn’t get the best result. The second time around was very different. Barrie’s been there so many times: often he’d come up with an idea or a different slant on things that was invaluable. He must have saved us thousands we would otherwise have paid to lawyers and accountants.’
‘He was a huge help in organising the ‘beauty parade’ and advising on the negotiating process; so often buyers will give a price indication way in excess of their true intention and try to lock you into exclusivity – after which they will gradually seek to reduce the purchase price. Barrie steered us safely round all of that and helped us to drive the negotiations according to the timetable we wanted.’
‘His advice on how to manage the bidders and how to get to the price we wanted was first class.’
Michael McInerney, CEO Brookdale Healthcare, Hertfordshire, successfully sold part of the business, and was advised on the deal by Barrie Pearson.
