Business Transactions

Stock and Asset Sales, Licensing and Strategic Ventures

Selling a business should not be made complicated by a line-up of professionals seeking fee-driven transactions.  Only with hard work and smart, strategic thinking can a business be grown to create value for its owners.   We have owned and operated businesses, so we know what it takes and exactly what you are thinking and feeling as you consider the sale of your business.  When it comes time to realize this value, the path forward should be very clear, well-orchestrated and seamless.   ‘Less is more’ when selling a business -- less professionals, less fees and less focus on incidental issues.  With Dowe Partners, we are laser-focused on the goal and are aligned with you each step of the way with our Project Approach to a Business Auction –  

  1. Roadmap – We develop a detailed analysis of your business and a roadmap forward with realistic expectations and a Timetable to Close

  2. Agreement – We create a Valuation Range agreeable to all shareholders to avoid closing holdouts

  3. Marketing – We develop the marketing documents to present your business well, and the Due Diligence Library of documents

  4. Prospect List – With our clients we develop a thorough Prospective Buyer List

  5. Auction – Most critical, we create a competitive Auction Process with a timetable to select the most qualified buyers – ‘tire-kickers’ and ‘low ballers’ are quickly eliminated

  6. Due Diligence – We coordinate an Efficient Due Diligence process to minimize management distractions

  7. Buyer’s Qualification – With our client’s final approval, we select the most Qualified Buyer having the wherewithal to close

  8. Closing - We draft and negotiate the final closing documents – and Close.

Seamless, efficient and without any added concern over expensive professional services while the Project is underway.  Your success becomes our success.
