You build a company for years. You sell it once.
We run the sale of Polish companies exclusively on the owner’s side – confidentially, from the first conversation to the signed agreement.
Book a callFor owners considering the sale of their company.
We work with owners of companies with revenue above PLN 10 million, with no upper limit. The buyer holds such talks regularly; you go through them once. That is why you need someone on your side of the table who knows this process better than they do.
Selling a company is a large operation that is invisible from the outside. It usually consists of:
- 5workshops with you before the company goes to market
- 50–200carefully selected potential buyers, from Poland and around the world
- approx. 500contacts to build demand and get the right potential buyers interested
- 4–8meetings with buyers who are seriously interested
There is no magic folder of investors. We select potential buyers using our own methodology, and the process is proven and repeatable: it has been delivering results for well over a decade. The road to buyers is paved with work, and before the first meeting we spend a full day on a mock negotiation session with you.
- Confidential from day oneOnly those who sign a non-disclosure agreement learn the company’s name. Only the people you decide on find out about the sale.
- Sell-side onlyWe do not take sell-side mandates from buyers. We always sit on the same side of the table.
- A few companies a yearEvery project is led by an experienced partner who personally oversees it and conducts the key negotiations.
How we work
Preparation
2 months
We get to know the company and your goals, research the market, select 50 to 200 potential buyers from thousands of verified companies and investors using our own methodology, and prepare the offer. Five briefing sessions with you and a full-day mock negotiation close this phase.
Live phase
3 months
The company goes to market without its name. We reach the people who decide on acquisitions, and only those who sign a non-disclosure agreement learn the name. This usually ends with 4 to 8 meetings with seriously interested buyers.
Negotiations
2 months
Buyers submit initial offers and we keep several of them interested at once, because demand is what creates the price. We watch the terms – earn-out, deferred payments, transition period – as closely as the price itself.
Due diligence
2 months
The buyer examines the company. We prepare you and the company for the audit in advance, so that it brings no surprises and does not become a pretext for lowering the price.
Legal phase
3 months
Lawyers on both sides negotiate the agreement. We coordinate their work and lead the transaction to closing day, when the funds reach your account.
From the first conversation to closing takes around 12 months. Full description of each phase
In every second transaction the buyer comes from abroad.
Czechia, Lithuania, Germany, Scandinavia, France, Spain – that is where the investors who bought our clients’ companies came from. We reach them directly and through Fusio Global Advisors.
