Steps to Selling Your Recruitment Business

Preparation

We start by conducting a thorough assessment of your recruitment business to understand its financial health, operational strengths, and market position. This is part of our “Fit to Sell and Fit for the Future” analysis, ensuring everything is ready to make your sale a success and achieve your goals.

Strategic Marketing

We develop a confidential marketing plan that targets qualified buyers from our extensive network. Our approach ensures discretion while reaching all potential buyers and investors.

Negotiation and Heads of Terms

Our team handles negotiations with expertise, using our in-depth knowledge of the recruitment sector to secure the best possible terms for your business. Once we’ve identified the right buyer, we help agree on heads of terms and provide the buyer with exclusivity to proceed, ensuring the process stays on track.

Due Diligence Coordination

We manage the due diligence process, ensuring all necessary information is presented accurately. We handle inquiries from the buyer’s side to maintain momentum and drive the deal toward completion.

Completion

Working closely with legal and financial professionals, we oversee the finalisation of the sale. This includes signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement and closing the transaction smoothly and efficiently.
