Sell a business (LBO, leveraged buyout)

Our Approach

We maximise value while minimising disruption, so you can focus on growth when disposing of an asset.

As part of your strategic portfolio management, you might consider divesting an entire company or carving out a part. We are here to support you from the start, and throughout the whole deal cycle, by developing the right strategy and deal model to fully optimise value.

We help you prepare all the necessary financial statements, optimise different tax structures, maintain a motivated workforce, and develop operational separation plans, so you can approach buyers in the best possible way, reduce uncertainty, and avoid disruptions to the day-to-day operations.

Our support

We support you throughout the deal, from the preparation of financial statements to closing the deal and establishing a plan to separate activities.

Pre-deal

Our teams assist you upstream of the deal, helping you organise your teams, the presentation of your financial statements, and the start of the deal process.

Deal preparation

We apply our various areas of expertise in preparing due diligence reports, consulting with your teams, presenting the assets to potential investors, and defending your vision of the deal.

Deal execution

We assist you in reviewing and proofreading legal documentation, and shed light on the best financial and tax structuring for the deal.

Post-deal

In the event of a partial sale, we support you in implementing an operational separation of assets, and ensuring the smoothest possible transition.

Glossary

Eight Advisory teams support you every step of the way with our financial, tax, strategic, and operational expertise.

Vendor due diligence

In preparing a disposal, our due diligence reports present both you and investors with a clear and detailed business model, covering past and forecast performance and assets, and anticipate financial and tax issues in order to simplify the transfer.

Business plan modelling

We support you in preparing a reliable business plan for the deal, accounting for growth, performance and cash levers for the years to come.

Operational due diligence

We carry out an independent analysis of your operational and industrial assets, integrating financial data and identifying areas for improvement, in order to provide you and your buyers with a detailed due diligence report.

HR due diligence

On the human resources side, we adopt a global approach, not limiting ourselves to typical costs, such as salaries and severance pay, but also carrying out analyses on emplotyee turnover and absenteeism, which can have significant financial impacts.

ESG due diligence

We assist you with your environmental, social and governance (ESG) analyses, guiding you in taking stock of the actions implemented by the company and plans for the future.

Turnaround and restructuring

We adapt our approach to any situation, such as temporary or structural difficulties, for example, supporting you with an ad hoc adapted process.

Tailored approach

Since every company is unique, we develop a tailored approach taking into account not only your company’s market, sector and size, but also your vision, expectations and needs.
