SELLERS ADVISORY

	"The buyer rarely buys  what the seller thinks he´s selling"                                -Peter Drucker

SELL SIDE ADVISORY: REALIZING VALUE

Acting as a professional intermediary, Acthus Capital can add value to the process of selling a business, through securing the highest return, maintaining the integrity of the transaction and optimizing the retention of the proceeds. With its blend of business, accounting and taxation expertise, Acthus is perfectly positioned to maximize shareholder value and achieve the owners' objectives

The sale of a company, division, subsidiary, product line or major asset is a process that requires equal parts clear thinking, critical analysis, expert advice, sound planning and flawless execution. Because the process consumes a great deal of time and energy for everyone involved, it can be very disruptive if not handled properly.

Acthus Capital Corporate Advisory divestiture mandates include the development of a strategy to maximize value and achieve other objectives of the selling shareholders such as form of consideration, timeliness, confidentiality, and minimal disruption. A controlled, competitive sale process is typically conducted, tailored to the circumstances and sensitivities of our client and the business. This process incorporates the identification and qualification of prospective strategic and financial buyers around the world.

We identify and assess prospective purchasers, nationally and internationally, and design and draft the information memoranda. Acthus Capital’s prime objective is to achieve the best possible terms for the seller.
