Want Your Money?  Boost Your Retirement Savings!

Before you start thinking about cashing out we need to start a dialogue with a buyer.

Geers will introduce you to owners of companies in your same or related business.  And we will keep prospecting for qualified buyers until your company is sold. 

Geers will determine the value of your company and negotiate the price and transaction structure.

The value of your company may differ depending on the type of buyer and what is included in the transaction.  We are very familiar with the generally accepted valuation methodologies.  We have a fiduciary responsibility to only represent your best interests with the most favorable terms.

You’ll end up with more money in your pocket when you work with us!

Our approach is straightforward.  We do what we say or you don’t have to pay us … and we only earn a fee based on what we negotiate with the buyer.

Work With Us.  Because It’s A Big Deal!

 What differentiates us is our ability to dig in, understand what makes your company valuable, negotiate price and look out for your people.  When your company is sold you will feel good that it will be in good hands with a capable buyer.   Don’t underestimate what a knowledgeable,  confident leader can achieve for you. 

 We do not ask for an exclusive arrangement.  The pressure remains on us each month to do what we say or else you do not have to pay our  monthly retainer.

Sell Your Company

The process is fairly easy but each step of our work is important and requires skilled execution.

We take responsibility for every step.  You don’t have to pay us unless you remain happy with our progress.

We’ll introduce you to owners of a company in your same or related business.  We will pro-actively work our extensive network of contacts, both business owners and other professionals.  We will initiate the dialogue with a buyer and start the process.

Confidentially we will also contact hundreds of accountants, bankers, lawyers and private equity firms throughout the region.  We will continue prospecting for as long as it takes. 

We will provide on-going leadership and advice to quarterback the entire process. 

The lawyers will get involved when we’re ready to paper the definitive agreement. 

Here’s the process in a nutshell:

• Gather and exchange information 
• Quarterback the buyer through the process and determine where they are heading
• Value your company
• Prepare a compelling presentation
• Negotiate
• Motivate the buyer to present a formal offer
• Definitive agreement
• Close … we’re responsible to get you your money

Geers Consulting earns a fee that is determined by applying a percentage to the transaction amount.  The percentage depends on the size and complexity of the transaction.  We require a monthly retainer related to our time and effort in introducing you to owners of companies in your same or related business and quarterbacking each of them through the process.  Payments related to our monthly retainers are deducted from our fee at closing.

Typically four to six qualified buyers will go through the process and make their assessment before you receive a formal offer.  The lawyers will need about thirty days or more to paper the definitive agreement.
