M&A Auctions

Company Connections M&A Auction is a confidential sealed bid marketing program specifically designed for the quick sale of entire operating businesses. The process works well for businesses that have a compelling need or desire to sell in the very near term. The compelling need or desire may be financial distress, health, partnership disputes or others. While selling the business as an in-place operating entity, the M&A Auction sale method preserves goodwill value and results in prices higher than conventional asset auction or forced liquidation. This sale method provides excellent fast results provided these elements exist:

• The business ownership has realistic value expectations.
• The business ownership is committed to an expedient sale.
• A reasonable number of potential strategic buyers can be identified and readily accessed.

An M&A Auction customarily generates multiple offers, with the accepted offer often exceeding value expectations. The time required for setup and execution will vary based on the need, readiness and cooperation of the owners, however most are completed within 3 months. By contrast, traditional business sales average 10 months or longer.
