KAL Capital’s Process
At KAL Capital, we understand that every business is different and requires a tailored approach. Our process is designed to provide personalized sell-side advisory services that meet our client’s specific needs and objectives. Here’s what it typically looks like
Assessment and Preparation
The first step in the sell-side advisory process involves a comprehensive review of the company's operations, management team, industry position, and financial situation. This assessment helps to identify the company's strengths and weaknesses and provides a solid foundation for the subsequent steps.
Valuation
After the initial assessment, an indicative valuation of the company or the asset being sold is conducted. This valuation is vital as it gives the seller an idea of how much they can expect from the sale.
Strategic Planning
Based on the assessment and valuation, the sell-side advisor will develop a strategic plan to maximize the value of the sale. This could involve focusing on selling businesses in attractive growth areas and winding down or divesting from non-core businesses.
Marketing
The next step is to market the company or asset to potential buyers. This involves preparing a confidential information memorandum (CIM) that highlights the company's value proposition and potential for growth. The CIM is then presented to prospective buyers.
Negotiation and Transaction
The final stages involve negotiating with potential buyers to get the best terms for the sale. Once a deal is agreed upon, the sell-side advisor assists with the transaction process, which may include coordinating due diligence, finalizing the sale agreement, and closing the transaction.
The goal of sell-side advisory services is to ensure a smooth sale process while maximizing transaction value for the client. The exact services provided can vary depending on the specific needs and objectives of the client.
