Sell Your Business
Full sell-side mandates: positioning, marketing, negotiation and execution.
A sell-side mandate is the end-to-end process of selling a business — positioning it, marketing to buyers, running diligence and negotiating to close. Matchpoint runs confidential, senior-led sell-side processes designed to maximise value and certainty.
As part of our M&A practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents, and every M&A mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.

Sell Your Business — frequently asked questions
Typically several months from mandate to close, depending on readiness, sector and buyer universe. We compress timelines with preparation and targeted outreach.
Yes — we run discreet processes, releasing information progressively under NDA.
Preparing a business for sale means resolving issues a buyer will find before they find them: clean audited financials, documented contracts, settled disputes, reduced owner-dependence and a management team that can run the company post-sale. Owners who begin preparation well ahead of going to market achieve smoother diligence and stronger terms.
Buyers pay for predictable, transferable earnings: recurring revenue, a diversified customer base, documented processes and a business that does not depend on its owner. Growth prospects, a defensible market position and clean legal and financial records all support value, while customer concentration and key-person risk weaken it.
The most common mistakes when selling a business are going to market unprepared, negotiating with a single buyer without competitive tension, letting performance slip during the process and disclosing the sale too early to staff or customers. Each erodes value; a structured, well-prepared process protects against all four.
M&A advisers cover the full transaction: strategy and target screening, valuation, running the sell-side or buy-side process, due-diligence coordination, deal structuring and negotiation, and financing the acquisition. Post-merger-integration (PMI) consultants take over after close — 100-day integration planning, synergy capture and tracking, operating-model and systems integration, and talent retention. Matchpoint provides both ends: origination-to-close M&A advisory and the PMI planning that protects the value you paid for.
M&A advisory is senior-led guidance and execution across a merger, acquisition or divestment — from strategy, valuation and target or buyer identification through diligence, structuring, negotiation and completion. Matchpoint runs full sell-side and buy-side mandates, confidentially and partner-led from origination to close.
Yes — Matchpoint is UAE-licensed with partners in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, advising GCC business owners, corporates and investors on sell-side, buy-side and merger mandates, with cross-border reach into KSA, India, the UK and the US.
Matchpoint runs full sell-side mandates: we value the business, build the information memorandum, identify and approach buyers, manage diligence and negotiate to close — confidentially and senior-led throughout.
An MBO is led by existing management, an MBI by an incoming external team, and an LBO uses significant debt to fund the acquisition. We structure all three and arrange the acquisition finance.
We bridge a target's stand-alone enterprise value to the consideration paid, isolating hard, soft and financial synergies net of costs — so clients see exactly where value is created.
Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.
Most sell-side and buy-side M&A processes run 4–9 months from mandate to completion, depending on diligence, regulatory approvals and negotiation.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
