Company Sales

Momentum specialises in the sale of privately held companies. Whether on behalf of financial institutions, public companies or owner managers we have a track record of running processes, which deliver maximum value. We have particular experience of disposals involving foreign purchasers, notably to large US acquirers.

A successful transaction is a balance between the price achieved, the form and structure of the consideration, the timescale to completion and the purchaser’s intentions for the continued development of the business.

We ensure that all interested parties are engaged in a confidential yet highly competitive bidding process. We will manage all aspects of the sale process from preparation of the Information Memorandum, dataroom and management presentation through to project management of the legal and due diligence process.

Every deal is supported by one of our dedicated research analysts using market-leading research tools, providing our clients with both UK and international market knowledge – which is particularly of use when considering overseas acquirers.

We can also help shareholders who are considering a sale of their business to its management team. These transactions are often referred to as Vendor Initiated Management Buy Outs (VIMBOs) and are increasingly common.
