The Simple Path to Selling Your Business
Most business owners are not happy with the net proceeds
from their exit.
Over 80% of businesses that go to market fail to get any offers.
Zach Dogar, a qualified M&A professional and ACCA Business Valuations Certified specialist, IMAA Member, has guided business owners through successful exits for over 30 years.
Zach offers boutique personalised service that larger corporate brokers cannot match. Unlike traditional business brokers who focus on financial buyers, our strategic approach targets genuine strategic acquirers who recognise true business value and are prepared to pay premium multiples.
"You were on the end of the telephone whenever I needed"​
You explained the whole process stage by stage.​
You were genuinely, passionate and interested in getting the best for my business"
Angie Townsend, a former Business Owner

​
Are you, personally, ready to exit? It’s an easy question to ask, but it can be difficult to answer. In most cases, there is a combination of factors that are either “pushing” you away from your business or “pulling” you to something else. Take a short PREScore™ 8 minute questionnaire to find out if you are ready to exit.
PREScore™ (or Personal Readiness to Exit Score) is an 8-minute online questionnaire that evaluates a business owner’s readiness to exit their company on a personal level. Using an exclusive algorithm developed by analysing more than 40,000 business owners and conducting over 200 in-depth interviews with owners who have recently sold, PREScore™ calculates an owner’s readiness by identifying their status on each of the four drivers of a satisfying exit.
The 12 questions that make up PREScore™ are often overlooked by business owners, leaving them unprepared and in a state of crisis after the decision to exit is made. PREScore™ helps identify the at-risk areas and provides personalised recommendations for improvement, assisting owners in creating a personalised plan that ensures a happy and lucrative exit.
BUSINESS SALES
More often than not, most companies and businesses placed on the market are not ready to sell, and very few can achieve the best possible price.
As exit strategy specialists, we understand what acquirers are looking for and how to maximise the value of your business. We can help you prepare it for the market.
If you’re like many entrepreneurs, you assume the value of your company will be determined by your industry and its size. There are seven other factors that impact the value of your company, and getting these seven factors right can lead to acquisition offers that are more than twice the industry average. We have seen many examples of companies getting less than half the industry average multiple because of a weakness in one or more of these seven areas.
To see how your company scores, you can complete the Sellability Score and get a report on how you’re doing in each area.
