Exit enablers
Leverage networks and relationships – most exits are proprietary and exclusive
1.
“The exit came via referral from intermediaries who said there was some interest from a strategic. It
had to be the right price to get the sponsor to exit”
2.
Start exit preparation early
“Two years prior to sale, we re-positioned and re-branded the company, and built the momentum
carefully”
3.
Ensure continuity of management teams or clear succession planning – it gives buyers
confidence
“The management team typically have golden handcuffs for 3 years after we exit”
4.
Take advice on currency exposure/ risks
“How a deal is structured is key. With currency fluctuations and other external events, a pure vanilla
equity exposure can be risky"
