On beforehand: we understand that the transfer will be tough
Handing over the responsibility is one of the most difficult decisions for an entrepreneur. We have experienced this ourselves, more than once.
How does the transfer work; and how can you accept that it will no longer be ‘your company’? You don’t want to just let go of what you have built up with your heart and soul. A partner that understands this is essential.
We would be happy to start this conversation with you. And discuss your next role within the company.
Practical process in seven steps
-
1. Your success
First, you tell us what makes your business successful. And which next step you would like to take yourself. -
2. Your financials
Then we look at the numbers. Together we look at how we can take your company to the next phase. -
3. Our proposal
If we conclude together that Successor can help with this, we will come up with a serious proposal. And first time right because the purchase price is the mirror for all your arduous work. The purchase price is the best compliment we can offer. -
4. Letter of intent
If our proposal suits you, we will translate this into a so called ‘letter of intent’. -
5. Due diligence
This is followed by a short due diligence. This doesn’t take long because we do most of this ourselves. After the analysis, we will discuss the results. We do understanding that not everything will be perfect. -
6. The purchase agreement
We then draw up a purchase agreement. It will be fair, without tricks and fine print. Your entrepreneurship and wishes are central to this. -
7. Pleasant collaboration
When the deal is closed, we will continue together. You may remain partly shareholder and work part-time for some time, as you like. Often in the role you like best without the hassle of full entrepreneurship.
Our goal is that your company will still be there, for future generations!
