Why Should I Use Tequity to Help Sell My Technology Company?

The advisors at Tequity concentrate solely on Mergers and Acquistions for Software, Hardware, Telecom, Internet and IT Services companies.  We have thousands of industry connections and a vast global database that we have accumulated through years of research.  We know how to best uncover your company’s hidden value and how to prepare your business for a sale.  Our knowledge and experience helps us to determine the maximum value you are likely to achieve in the present climate and how to structure a deal that brings you maximum benefit while remaining attractive to the buyer.  We will not leave any revenue on the table.

We are able to bring a variety of strategic potential buyers to the table.  Working with multiple potential purchasers, creates urgency and a greater level of attractiveness attaches to the deal.  Once the right buyer has been found, we will work through all the details of the business negotiations and deal structure until the transaction is successfully closed.  

Because our fee structure is back-ended and we get paid the same way that you get paid, our objectives are aligned with yours.  We levy a nominal fee to start your project with the bulk of the fees due as your project is completed.  

How Long is the Sale Process Likely to Take?

It generally takes, on average, between four to eight months to sell most high tech companies. Keep in mind that an average is just that. Some businesses will take longer to sell, while others will sell in a shorter period of time. The sooner you have all the information needed to begin the marketing process, the shorter the time period should be. By scheduling a meeting with us when you are considering a sale or divesture, we can work through the preparatory details in advance so that your transaction is ready to go to market quickly when the time is right.     

What Can I Do to Help the Process?

During our initial meeting, we will go over your goals and review your objectives, and we will outline the information that potential buyers are going to need to see.  We have created easy to follow project plans to help you to gather your information and get it to us for packaging and presentation.  We will outline the timelines that you need to adhere to in order to get the transaction moving quickly.  It is important to ensure that we have all the necessary information before we begin the work; potential buyers will not be impressed if key pieces of information are unavailable or delayed (or worse, will assume that your operations will reflect this as well).

We can recommend lawyers who are experienced in M & A tranactions; ensure that the lawyer you engage is able to turn documents around without delay.  Transactions are usually very time-sensitive and delays can cause problems. 

Listen to your advisors at Tequity.  We will provide you with advice, coaching, and feedback during each phase of the process.  We are experienced in technology company sale transactions and we know how to help you realize maximum value.
