Our expertise in business sales is leveraged by our multi-disciplinary approach to client issues, as we apply the resources of our transaction team to each sale we undertake. It is this combination of network depth and experience that sets Interface Business Exchange apart, allowing us to provide clients with strategic advice and solutions to buy and sell their businesses.

You may be a principal shareholder in a company who is facing retirement and needs advice on the possible sale of your business. There are no family members capable of, or interested in, taking over the business. Other factors may impact on the future viability of the business.

We assist you in a complete assessment of your alternatives, including the possibility of a merger with another company. After careful consideration of the options you may decide that selling the business is indeed the best option for you.

We construct a careful strategy that balances the seller's interest in selling with the need for a good price.

Keeping that in mind, we help the seller develop an appropriate strategy for a successful sale. To identify the most suitable buyer, several factors need to be considered: who is the best strategic choice or is thought to be the most interested in acquiring the company; who might offer the best price; and finally, who might be the most compatible with you in negotiations and transition of ownership. With a plan in place, we help you identify and approach a suitable buyer, and then act as lead negotiator to develop the deal. We manage the due diligence process and our lawyers prepare the legal documents for sale.

The success of Interface Business Exchange is based on the principle that small businesses are built on confidential information that should not be shared with anyone except serious qualified buyers under strict confidential and non-competition agreements.

We create a virtual data room for each business through a series of proprietary extranets that provide an online repository of data. The virtual data room enables parties to view documents relevant to a particular transaction for authorized users. Documents are stored in electronic format on a central server and accessed via the internet. The virtual data rooms are secure and confidential virtual meeting rooms where buyers, lawyers, accountants and other professionals can review sensitive documents.

The Exchange team helps the seller to:

• Set the right price
• Prepare a form of contract to protect the seller's interests
• Conduct due diligence to save time and avoid surprises
• Prepare transfer documents to save time
• Find the right buyer quickly and confidentially
