1. Validation and diffusion of your project
We confirm the anonymous presentation of your company, highlighting your assets via the teaser.
We determine the sectors of activity of the companies potentially interested in the acquisition, as well as their size and geographic location.
All Mergers and Acquisitions actors have access to your research: companies, investment banks, investment funds, lawyers, accountants.Members are notified based on their search criteria, and you receive their marks of interest.
2. Connection with the identified acquirers
Thanks to your criteria, all relevant buyers are contacted.
They come both from our network and from tailor-made research carried out by our Artificial Intelligence engine in semantic analysis.
Thus, we are limited neither by administrative classifications of sectors of activity, which can be imprecise, nor by financial databases, which only present companies which publish their accounts.
With your validation, we contact the managers of these companies to present your cession project to them according to a presentation confirmed together after signing the confidentiality agreement, then share the Information Memorandum.
3. Negotiations supervision
We supervise the exchange with interested targets, as well as with the partners involved, legal and accounting advisors. We are assisting in the validation of the Letters of Intent received.
The support can be supplemented by financing advice, at the level of the company sold, and at the personal level after the operation.Our mission is completed, you benefit from all the market interest marks adapted to your project, and have the choice to continue with the best offer.
Financing after the sale
After the sale, reinvesting the proceeds and financing a buyer are key issues. Our teams can support you, both at company and personal level.

Selling a business: the complete guide
Why sell your business?
Selling a company is rarely an improvised decision. It usually reflects a life plan or a market opportunity: preparing for retirement, passing on a family business, moving on to a new entrepreneurial venture, securing wealth built over many years, or seizing a favourable window when valuations in your sector are high. Whatever your motivation, a successful sale rests on three pillars: rigorous preparation, complete confidentiality, and access to the largest possible pool of qualified buyers. This is exactly where the support of a mergers-and-acquisitions specialist makes the difference between a forced sale and a fully controlled transfer.
Preparing your company for sale
A business sells better when it is well prepared. Before any contact with the market, it is essential to put in order the elements that will reassure a buyer: clear and up-to-date accounts, formalised client and supplier contracts, limited dependence on the owner-manager, secured intellectual property, and documented growth prospects. This preparation phase not only saves time during due diligence, it also helps defend a higher valuation. A well-organised file reduces grounds for downward renegotiation and speeds up the path to signing.
How is a company valued?
The valuation methods
Company valuation relies on several complementary approaches. The multiples method applies a sector coefficient to an earnings aggregate, most often EBITDA. Discounted cash flow (DCF) measures the company's ability to generate cash over the long term. The revalued net asset method restates the book value of assets and liabilities to real market conditions. Finally, comparable transaction analysis positions your company against recent deals in your sector.
What moves the final price
The final price is never a simple calculation: it results from negotiation, the synergies perceived by the buyer, and the competitive intensity between bidders. Multiplying expressions of interest is therefore the most powerful lever to optimise your sale price.
Share sale or asset sale?
Two main structures shape a transaction.
The share sale
A share sale transfers ownership of the company itself, together with its assets and liabilities — the most common route for external-growth deals. An asset sale transfers only operating elements (customer base, equipment, lease rights) without the historic liabilities.
The asset sale
The choice between these structures carries significant legal and tax consequences for both seller and buyer. It should be decided upstream, with your advisers, according to your wealth objectives.
How artificial intelligence transforms buyer sourcing
The traditional approach limits contact to personal networks and financial databases, which only list companies that publish their accounts. Our artificial-intelligence engine works through semantic analysis: it identifies relevant buyers beyond administrative sector classifications, which are often imprecise. As a result, your project reaches acquirers that classic methods would never have found — competitors pursuing external growth, adjacent groups, investment funds — anywhere in the world. This exhaustiveness maximises your expressions of interest and places you back at the centre of the decision.
Confidentiality: protecting your business during the process
Confidentiality is a strategic issue. A leak about a sale project can unsettle employees, clients or suppliers. That is why your company is first presented anonymously, through a teaser that highlights its strengths without making it identifiable. Detailed discussions and the sharing of the information memorandum only take place after a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) has been signed. You retain control of the information at every stage.
Financing life after the sale
The sale is not an end in itself: reinvesting the proceeds and, where relevant, financing the buyer are decisive matters. Whether reinvesting in a new venture, structuring your wealth, or supporting the buyer's financing plan, our teams advise you at both company and personal level, so that the value created is fully preserved and deployed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I sell my company?
A sale follows several stages: preparation and anonymous teaser, valuation, targeting and contacting buyers (network + AI), signing a confidentiality agreement, sharing the information memorandum, receiving and analysing letters of intent (LOI), due diligence, then closing.
How much is my company worth?
Valuation depends on many factors: sector, profitability, growth, assets and market comparables. We help you estimate it; our support covers deals from €1M to €200M.
How is confidentiality ensured during the sale?
Your company is first presented anonymously via a teaser, and detailed exchanges only take place after signing a confidentiality agreement (NDA).
How long does a sale take?
It depends on the deal: targeting and first contacts start quickly, but the whole process (negotiation, due diligence, closing) generally takes several months.
How are you paid?
Our remuneration is mainly success-based, depending on the completion of the deal.
Who are the potential buyers?
Companies (competitors, groups pursuing external growth), investment funds and individual buyers, from our network and a tailor-made AI semantic search.
