MINDHEAD, YOUR STRATEGIC PARTNER IN THE
BUYING AND SELLING OF COMPANIES.
An acquisition or sale process of a company is a complex procedure that can last several months or even years. In the case of sale mandates, it is necessary to prepare the company that wants to sell. This involves an initial objective valuation of the company and verifying the financial statements.
It may be necessary to spin off assets that are not related to the company’s core business, which, in most cases, is not of interest to potential buyers. You will need to take the necessary actions so that, when the sale occurs, the tax impact is as limited as possible for the shareholders. In addition, you will need to align the will of the shareholders selling the company, as it is likely that they will have to stay in the company for a period of 1 to 3 years.
An orderly transition should be managed as it is a value for potential buyers. Similarly, certain milestones may be required regarding the payment of the shares of the company’s purchase, including deferred payments, payments based on the achievement of a series of milestones such as sales, EBITDA, and other variables.

STEPS IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING OR SELLING A COMPANY
1.
Preliminary Meetings and NDA Signing
First, contact between owners or executives of the companies. At this stage, the general terms of the transaction are established, including the price threshold, staff, timelines, and if there is agreement on both sides, a non-disclosure agreement is signed to protect confidential information.
2.
Evaluation
At this point, the potential buyer conducts an initial assessment of the target to determine if the transaction makes strategic and financial sense. This will include a review of financial statements, organizational structure, assets and liabilities, performance history, and other relevant factors.
3.
Due Diligence
If the buyer decides to proceed with the transaction, they will commission a detailed Due Diligence involving corporate lawyers, labor specialists, economists, and other freelance professionals to verify that the information provided in the evaluation phase is accurate and to assess any risks in the potential acquisition of the company.
4.
Signing of the contract and
closing of the transaction
Having successfully completed the Due Diligence, the next step is to negotiate and sign the final contract that establishes all the terms of the transaction
