Your business is more than just a financial asset; it represents years of hard work, dedication, and passion. As you consider selling your business in Canada, you may worry about preserving your legacy, finding the right buyer, and ensuring a smooth and respectful transition. At AR Mergers, we understand these concerns and are here to support you throughout this significant journey.
The ARM Method
Selling a Business in Canada? We guide you through five key phases:
MONTH 1-2
We identify your objectives and align the framework that will lead to an optimal sale outcome. This stage highlights data collection and valuation, underscored by a complete assessment of your financials, people, and processes. We craft a comprehensive information memorandum to showcase your company’s unique differentiators and growth opportunities.
MONTH 2-4
Confidentiality and discretion are paramount. We compile a list of strategic, financial, and industry buyer candidates, which you approve prior to our outreach. We confirm their motivations for a successful acquisition and rank them as a potential fit.
MONTH 4-5
We aim to establish a timeline for the presentation of buyers’ Indications of Interest (IOIs) and cultivate a competitive environment, where multiple offers are presented to you. ARM speaks with interested buyers extensively to qualify their financial resources, deal philosophy, and track record.
MONTH 5-6
Candidates with the top initial offers progress to a meeting with you to gain insight into your business and company culture. They submit a formal Letter of Intent (LOI). We negotiate to solidify the material aspects of the sale, clarify terms & conditions, and establish milestones to reach along the closing trajectory.
MONTH 6-10
The ARM team takes a collaborative approach to spearhead the due diligence & closing workflows. We work closely with your legal & financial advisors to manage document sharing through our secure data portal. Regular touchpoints with both deal teams & financiers help clear any roadblocks, and maintain momentum toward a successful completion of your deal.
