Sell your business in the UAE.
To sell your business well in the UAE you need a competitive process, not a single buyer and a handshake. We prepare and position the company, build the materials, run a controlled process, manage diligence, and negotiate the terms, with a senior principal on your side of the table from first call to close. Principal-side, and paid on the outcome.
Competitive process
More than one buyer at the table, by design.
Principal-side
We sit on the owner's side and hold the price.
Confidential
Staged disclosure under NDA, the business protected throughout.
Senior to close
The principal who starts the process signs it off.
A competitive sell-side process, where more than one credible buyer is at the table, is what protects the price when you sell your business.
The full sell-side mandate.
From the first read of the numbers to the wire on completion, here is what we deliver when you decide to sell your business.
Positioning and equity story
The case for the business: why it is worth more to the right buyer, written for buyers, not for a filing cabinet.
The information memorandum
A teaser, a full information memorandum, and a clean, defensible financial pack that survives diligence.
The buyer list
A mapped universe of strategic and financial buyers, screened for fit, funding, and likelihood to close.
A controlled process
Outreach, NDAs, management meetings, and a structured timetable that keeps tension and pace in the room.
Offers and negotiation
Indicative offers compared on more than headline price, then negotiated to terms that actually hold.
Diligence and close
A managed data room, diligence run for you, and the principal in the negotiation through to signing.
Six steps from decision to done.
Prepare and position
Build the caseWe read the numbers, fix what undersells the business, and build the case for why the right buyer should pay a premium.
Build the materials
IM and financial packTeaser, information memorandum, and a financial pack that is honest, complete, and able to survive a buyer's diligence without surprises.
Run a competitive process
Tension protects priceWe approach a screened buyer list under NDA, run management meetings, and keep more than one party live so the price is set by competition.
Manage diligence
Data room run for youWe run the data room and the buyer's diligence on your behalf, so the day-to-day keeps running and nothing derails the deal.
Negotiate
Price and structureWe negotiate price, structure, earn-outs, warranties, and the detail that decides what you actually take home.
Close
Until the money movesWe hold the line through signing and completion, with a senior principal in the room until the money moves.
You sell once. Do it with someone who has done it.
The pattern owners meet on a sale: a senior name in the pitch, then juniors running the most important transaction of their life, an advisor billing by the hour whether or not it closes, and silence when the deal gets hard.
A competitive process
Several credible buyers live at once, so the price is set by competition, not by a single conversation.
A senior principal to close
The person who scopes the mandate runs it from first call to close, not a rotating analyst pool.
Principal-side and aligned
We sit on your side of the table and are paid on the outcome, so our interest is your result.
Diligence prepared in advance
The issues a buyer would price as discounts are found and fixed before they get to ask, so the price holds.
Frequently asked questions.
When is the right time to sell my business?
The best time to sell is when the business is growing, the financials are clean, and you are not forced to sell. A buyer pays for momentum and pays down for risk. We give you a senior read on whether to go to market now or spend time on exit readiness first.
How long does it take to sell a business in the UAE?
A well-run sell-side process typically runs several months from preparation to close, depending on size, complexity, and how ready the financials are. Preparation and diligence usually take longer than the negotiation. We set a realistic timeline at the start and manage to it. Most mid-market sales take roughly six to nine months from preparation to close.
How do you find the right buyers?
We map strategic acquirers, financial buyers, and individuals who fit your business, then run a controlled, competitive process so more than one party is at the table. Competition, not a single conversation, is what protects the price.
Will my staff and customers find out I am selling?
Confidentiality is managed from the first contact. Buyers sign non-disclosure agreements, information is released in stages, and sensitive detail is held back until a buyer is serious and committed. The process is built to protect the business while it is on the market.
How is your fee structured?
We run sell-side principal-side and paid on outcome. We sit on your side of the table and structure our fee so that we are rewarded when the deal closes well, not for activity. We agree the structure with you in writing before any work begins.
