We believe every seller is unique, and we solve for unique. The cornerstone of the solution is in fact you and your uniqueness, so therefore we must understand who you are what your aspirations are and in particular what your aspirations are after the sale of your business. This is definitely not a cookie cutter process, but we approach this chapter of your life and your business life with rigour, discipline and process to ensure that we are focused, effective and outcome driven.

Our typical approach is to spend time with you and your business to understand the fundamentals of your exit options, before proceeding to perform a comprehensive Pre Sale Due Diligence. This will uncover your business’ value drivers, risk factors, and those factors that will affect liquidity. We use this information to prepare a detailed Exit Plan. In partnership with you, Scotia Macleod will then execute this plan before engaging in and negotiating on your behalf the sale of your business.

We’ll guide you through the process

Selling a small or large business requires an in-depth review review to ensure the sale goes smoothly.

Every client seeking to exit their business, will be taken through a Spotlight Review. We believe that the vast majority of businesses that do not get sold or are sold for less than expected by other advisories, are not paying sufficient attention to these fundamentals upfront.

We explore all avenues

As a due diligence services and consulting company, we can perform a comprehensive Pre-Sale Due Diligence that will uncover all those ingredients that we are looking for that will drive value, or deplete value. Further we look for issues affecting liquidity. How will we enhance value, minimise risk and maximise liquidity?

For entrepreneurial, start-ups and existing businesses

At Scotia Macleod we deliver business or entrepreneurial exit strategies that are well-researched and planned to ensure you are sale ready.
We then take our exit plan and commence a project to execute it. The role of Scotia Macleod is to ensure that it gets done. We project manage either you or ourselves in the process of executing the Exit Plan.

It’s a common request from clients

And helping clients sell their business effectively is exactly what we do. The timing of the sale of your business is rarely predicted to precision. We are huge believers in that you should always be ready, and the process we have undertaken above is one that puts the business in flexible position on when to exit.
