Disposals

Disposals are about selling a business – the entire business, part of it or shares in it. Whatever the reason for the sale, you want an experienced and respected deal maker, one who can find the right buyers, convert them into a sale, and negotiate the best possible price.

At RSM Farrell Grant Sparks, we have extensive experience in the disposal process, with a proven track record in maximising value for clients and closing deals successfully.

Our team assists clients to sell their businesses and can manage all stages of the process, including:

• Reviewing the business and valuation
• Identifying potential buyers
• Preparing sales memorandum
• Soliciting and evaluating offers
• Providing advice on the sale, including the best after-tax position
• Negotiating heads of agreement
• Closing the deal

Identifying buyers

A key part of the process is identifying potential buyers. Like any corporate finance team, we are aware of various businesses wishing to buy, and many of our senior partners have entrepreneurial backgrounds and extensive business contacts.

As a member firm of the RSM International network, we can also identify possible buyers outside Ireland – not only for larger companies but also for disposals of SMEs.

Disposals can also arise from examinerships or receiverships, and RSM Farrell Grant Sparks is a prominent name in this specialised field. Distressed sales are increasingly common in the current economic climate, and we have extensive experience in this area, especially for financial institutions.

An experienced team

Our deal makers are experienced respected, trusted and confidential. They are backed up by a strong team of tax and other specialists to cover each aspect of the deal.
