The Acquisition Process
Structuring Your Exit
At GetAcquired.uk, we understand that every business and every seller is unique, which is why we offer a variety of flexible acquisition structures tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences.
Share Sale Vs Asset Sale
When it comes to selling your business, you have the option to structure the deal either as a share sale or an asset purchase, each offering distinct advantages depending on your circumstances and objectives. A share sale involves selling the ownership stake in your company, transferring all assets and liabilities, along with control of the business, to the buyer. This approach offers simplicity and continuity, as the buyer assumes ownership of the entire entity, including contracts, licenses, and relationships.
On the other hand, an asset purchase involves selling specific assets and liabilities of the business, rather than the entity itself. This option allows for greater flexibility, as you can tailor the sale to include only certain assets or divisions, while retaining others. Asset purchases can be advantageous for sellers looking to divest particular assets or streamline their operations before retirement. Additionally, this structure may offer tax benefits and liability protections for both parties involved.
At GetAcquired.uk, we'll work closely with you to evaluate the merits of each approach and determine the best fit for your situation. Whether you opt for a share sale to transfer ownership in its entirety or an asset purchase to selectively divest assets, we'll ensure a seamless and advantageous transaction that aligns with your retirement goals and aspirations.
Payment Options and Retaining Equity
Whether you're looking for immediate liquidity or prefer to maintain a stake in the ongoing success of your business, we have options to suit every situation.
Our have access to multiple solutions for financing the sale of your business, including; Asset-Backed Lending, leveraging the value of your business's assets to facilitate the acquisition process swiftly.
Cash Flow Lending provides a more fluid approach, utilizing current and projected revenues to fund the purchase while preserving your capital.

Seller Financing allows for a more personal touch, enabling you to extend credit to the buyer and secure a steady income stream post-sale.
