If you wish to sell your company

A good start always begins with a good dialogue. That is why our cooperation in this process will always begin with a meeting, where you can get the answers to all your questions and at the same time hear how we might help you – also in relation to any questions you might not have considered in connection with the transfer of ownership, estate planning or business sale.

Step 1 is the beginning of the process, when it is important to look at the following issues:

• Sales opportunities.
• Risk minimization for the company.
• Organization of data room.
• Preparation of contracts etc. for the data room.
• Reflections on estate planning.
• Mediating contact to financial advisers, including auditors, for the purpose of valuating the business.
• Mediating contact to other advisers, if required, e.g. engineers for the purpose of environmental surveys.
• Contact to public authorities, if required;
• Assisting you in initial contract negotiations with the buyer;
• Non-Disclosure Agreement;
• Performing Vendor Due Diligence; viz. your sales report to the buyer with information on your business, giving the buyer a broader overview.

Step 2 concerns your negotiations with the buyer.

• Do you plan to continue working for the company? If so, do you know what role to undertake?
• Are there any agreements with employees, cooperation partners or others to be renewed or terminated?
• We can participate in all meetings between you and the buyer, if so requested.
• We can prepare/examine the transfer agreement describing what to be sold etc. and go through it all with you afterwards.
• We can advise you on all legal issues that you must consider and know of as the seller.
• Signature on the agreement.
• Handling of approvals, e.g. approvals from competition authorities and cooperation partners.

Step 3 is the final and conclusive step to be taken when selling your company. In this phase, we can assist you in securing the final details.

• Closing of contracts.
• Transfer of agreements and information to cooperation partners.
• Inspection of real property.
• Measures relating to company law, e.g. registration of new board of directors/company name, etc.
• Any other agreements, e.g. employment contracts, trade agreements etc.
• Preparation of completion statement, if required.
