The Challenge:
After 25 years running a successful business, Paul and his wife were ready to retire - but were unsure whether a sale would provide enough financial security to support their lifestyle long term.
Approach
Alan undertook a full RealityCheck® appraisal and worked closely with them for two years, identifying areas of added value and supporting a strategic uplift of the business. A key asset was uncovered - bespoke software developed internally - which added significant commercial value. Alan introduced the couple to finance houses and supported the business’s positioning.
Result
The business sold for an eight-figure sum. Paul and his wife retired with financial freedom, knowing they had passed on a strong, thriving business to a capable senior team.
"Alan helped us understand both the financial and strategic value of our business - and how to position it for a life-changing exit."
"Alan helped us to sell our business for more than we ever imagined. Thanks to Alan, we understood the value of our business and its added value to our clients, as well as the financial value. I’m so grateful to him for what he’s done for us."
Paul Bibby, Managing Director
