Female founders
Female entrepreneurship is on the rise in the UK but there are distinctive challenges for female founders, particularly in the venture capital community.
Our team of experienced professionals supports female business founders throughout their journey, advising on the key stages of running their businesses: from leveraging technology at start-up, offering business advisory support whilst scaling, and ultimately building an exit strategy and optimising personal wealth.
Exit
Deciding how and when to exit can be a difficult decision for entrepreneurs who have spent years building up a business from start-up stage.
Timing is crucial, both from an economic and personal perspective, and we will work with you to get this right.
Market conditions are important but so too is the position of the business on its growth curve and entrepreneurs should be ready to exit when profits are still rising.
Structuring the deal in a tax efficient way can have a real impact on the net value of the transaction and doing this successfully requires forward planning and specialist tax advice.
We help our clients through all aspects of a sale. We ensure the advice is commercial and beneficial to you in the long term.
Key exit considerations
- When is a good time to sell your business?
- What value do you want from selling your business?
- How do I make my business more attractive to a buyer?
- What are the tax implications for you?
- What comes after the sale process?
Maturity
Even though an exit may be some way off, this is the time to start preparing for sale, by identifying the requirements of potential buyers and thinking about what you want from the business.
Key maturity considerations
- Is the succession of your business in safe hands?
- Are your investors working for you – providing you with the right advice and opportunities to help you remain strong in the market place?
- Are you starting to groom your company for sale – what is required and by when?
- Is your board effective in challenging and helping to move the company forward?
- Are you creating shareholders wealth – ensuring the financial information shows continued growth?
