• Concerned About Confidentiality

Beechwood has created a differentiated and innovative “Two-Step Phased Process” to efficiently sell your company

OBJECTIVE: Determine Degree of Buyer Interest Over a 1 to 2 Month Period with Minimal Cost & Risk

• Conduct preliminary due diligence on business
• Prepare a generic/no name teaser on your business (“Teaser”)
• Send the Teaser to our extensive network of strategic and financial buyers
• Field inquiries and determine how many parties are interested in executing a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) to learn more about the business
• Based upon the quality and quantity of responses, Company can terminate the process with no further obligation/cost or proceed to Phase 2

OBJECTIVE: Formally Introduce the Company to Buyers and Proceed with a Transaction

• Expand due diligence
• Prepare more extensive marketing materials (“Marketing Materials”)
• Send NDA to interested parties for execution
• Distribute Marketing Materials to parties who signed NDA’s
• Expand buyer list with company input and approval
• Prepare a virtual data room (“VDR”) with company information and make available to buyers
• Track buyer activity in the VDR
• Create an ongoing FAQ document (frequently asked questions) for buyers
• Set up calls and meetings with management
• Create a Process Letter establishing procedures, requirements and timelines for buyers
• Receive and review offers with company and its professionals
• Negotiate offers
• Choose final buyer
• Assist company professionals with definitive documentation
• Close transaction

If speed is a priority, we can shorten the process by utilizing a more traditional approach by combining Phases 1 and 2. We can then formally market the business in a compressed timeframe which would require a more definitive company commitment from the onset.
