In an ever changing world there is some certainty. After building and working on your biggest asset there will come the day when either you sell it to reap your just reward, or you simply close it down. If you are going to conclude your life’s work surely you want to have the best outcome possible. Similar to any successful business transaction, the sale needs to be planned, thought through and executed professionally.
When exiting your business there are always two outcomes sought – your personal ones and those of the business. To achieve these any seller wants to take the stress out of the process and ensure that both goals are achieved. While you may be good at running your business you don’t sell businesses every day. I do.
Working with a business professional who understands businesses and what needs to be done to position them best in a crowded market is a must. Thorough planning and preparation are a must. Confidentiality needs to be guaranteed.
In the past I worked in senior management for Exxon, Air Products, the second largest steel company in South Africa and a FDA accredited pharmaceutical manufacturing facility that produced bulk active drugs. I have also run my own consulting company and brought another product from conception through to the market working with the Graduate School of Business in Cape Town.
In New Zealand I helped put Colostrum on the market and exported it to India and China. I was then head-hunted as the CEO, to run a steel manufacturing plant that also did plastic coating. I did this for five and a half years. After this I moved as GM to a tourist supply company for 11 months that sold gifts, biscuits, clothing, facial and body creams to all the tourist outlet stores in NZ as well as manchester to the chain stores.
Nine years ago I moved to LINK Business Broking and have not looked back. With my prior experience I concentrate mainly on manufacturing and import distribution types of businesses. It is here that I can add value to my clients – having done what they are currently involved with.
I help my clients win.
