Selling your business

Achieve a successful business sale with the right preparation

If you are thinking of selling your business, you can rely on the experts from PwC. After all, we have a well deserved global reputation as a leading M&A advisor. As part of our consulting services, we can offer you support during every stage of the transaction - from defining your strategy and objectives, conducting a valuation analysis and due diligence, right through to contract negotiations. Our experts work closely with other companies, management teams and private equity investors.

Our services

Vendor Due Diligence

Before selling a company, or part of a company, a detailed report on its financial situation should be drawn up. By conducting a Vendor Due Diligence assessment, PwC gives both the buyer and the seller an independent evaluation of the company's current performance and future prospects. The final report considers every aspect of the sale, including any potentially relevant problems affecting the company which could be of interest to a prospective buyer.

Vendor Assistance

As part of its Vendor Assistance service, PwC offers individual advice during the sales process. Our experts work closely with your corporate management, and our senior advisors ensure that opportunities and potential problems are identified and that appropriate action is taken. Since Vendor Assistance is less time consuming than Vendor Due  Diligence, the service is especially useful if most interested parties are expected to be competitors or industry experts.

Selling parts of a business

A carve-out or spin-off requires effective planning and skilled implementation. We can of course also offer you support throughout this type of sale.
