An average sale process takes 6 to 9 months in seven phases, depending on complexity, market conditions and the level of preparation. With proper pre-exit optimization, the process can be significantly accelerated.
We work with a transparent fee structure that is always agreed upon in advance. Costs depend on the scope and complexity of the engagement. An initial introductory meeting and value scan are always free of charge and entirely without obligation.
