Handing over, or seeking a majority partner
Four starting positions in which we are typically brought in — and what needs clarifying first in each of them.
Where you may stand
You want to sell your company in full
The first question is whether figures, contracts and structures survive scrutiny, and what time frame is realistic. Only then does the question of the buyer make sense.
You are looking for a majority buyer
You hand over control but may remain invested or operationally involved. That has to be clear before the approach, because it determines which counterparties are a realistic fit.
You want to position a project
A project needs solid documentation before it goes to market. We identify what a counterparty will expect to see and where the gaps are.
You are seeking a strategic partner with a controlling stake
This is about more than price: leadership, time frame, and what is to become of the business after the transaction.
What we need before an approach
For an initial assessment we usually need: a description of the company or project, the annual accounts for recent years, the ownership and shareholding structure, and an indication of your objective and time frame.
Further documents — including contracts, permits and technical reports — are requested as appropriate, and only once a mandate has been agreed.
We pass on no information without agreeing it with you first. We publish neither client names nor transactions.
Relevant areas
Depending on the circumstances, the relevant route may be a company sale or a transaction involving a mining or commodities project.
