Couple John's maritime asset and business understanding, we can hone thedata room to present a coherent business detail set, to put your business inthe best light with the buyer audit process. Consider this ...... if the datapresents well and the buyer's auditors (Deloittes, PWC etc) have little troublefinding what they need, it provides confidence the business is well run andthat can translate into higher value offers.

Our understanding andexperience

As owners start to consider retirement, the nextgenerations have the ability to leverage off quality reputations andstrengthening business financials. In the most part owners are keen to supporttheir hard earned reputations and loyal followings with a period of transitionto new owners which can ease the learning curve for the uninitiated buyers.

DBB can provide details of such businesses topre-qualified buyers (includes confidentiality agreements). Fwd bookings arealways impacted by knowledge of the potential sale of a business and we arecareful with regards to client exposure. That said frankly any business can befor sale at the right price.

Due to the nature of the selling effort, we work on a small group ofbusinesses at any time to focus capabilities. Our objective is to maximise hardearned effort for the once in life time opportunity to sell your business.
