How Do You Attract an Unsolicited Offer?
Getting an unsolicited offer is a two step process:
-
Make your business highly valuable.
-
Proactively let the market know about your business
Attracting an Offer at a Strategic Premium
Exit Value Advisers have helped many clients attract unsolicited offers at a strategic premium.
The starting point is always a detailed assessment of how attractive your business is now and what are your immediate opportunities.

-
Understand your business value

Will you sell for a premium now?

Attracting an Unsolicited Offer Program
We schedule 4 sessions over a 4 week period (or longer if required) to drill down into your business and understand:
-
Its current value.
-
Your opportunities to make it more valuable.
-
The features a strategic buyer is likely to find attractive.
After the first session, the remaining sessions are optional, but we require a minimum 5 days’ notice that you wish to halt the program. We do not recommend skipping a session.
To attract strategic buyers is a long term process that can take up to two years or longer, but you are making your business more profitable along the way.
This program gives you a clear foundation on which to plan for the bigger prize – a sale to a strategic buyer at a substantial premium to market value.
Over the 4 week period we unpack your existing business to find the gems that will attract a strategic buyer.
