Excol offers you an objective discreet broking service. Independent and privately owned, we have a team that provides a personal service.

Our reputation is built by introducing successful, profitable organisations with solid brands, quality products & services, strong management teams and growth potential to our waiting list of buyers.

We only make money by selling your company. Apart from a small commitment fee, our commission is paid only on the closing of a sale.

We deal primarily – but not exclusively – with the following sectors:

Process Overview: The sale of a company is complex and time-consuming.  Our objective is to minimise disruption to your operations and personnel. 

Excol operates a structured sale process that typically runs as below. It is designed to achieve the best value for you by generating competition between interested parties to attract a range of offers.

• Together we agree a price range for your business and any other objectives.
• Following a review of your business we draft a sales memorandum.
• Information about your business is assembled into an anonymous information summary for distribution to potential buyers and a detailed information brief for interested parties.
• Following research a discreet approach is made to well-funded, potential buyers with the ability to close a deal without difficulty.
• Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) are signed, after which potential buyers receive a detailed information memorandum.
• Preliminary meetings are arranged with those that wish to proceed further; Excol coaches and prepares you before any meetings or presentations.
• Where relevant, Excol manages the competition, develops the negotiating strategy and guides negotiations towards a preliminary indicative offer.
• At this stage, exclusivity is often requested by the lead bidder.
• Hopefully, negotiations result in a formal offer to buy after which Heads of Agreement are signed and Due Diligence is carried out by the buyer.
• On completion of the sale commission is paid to Excol.
