Director of Corporate Finance Advisory, Derek Dervan, has been featured in the Business Post, discussing succession planning and the growing role of management buyouts in the Irish SME market. As M&A activity continues to gather momentum, Derek highlights that while trade sales and private equity-backed deals attract much of the attention, management buyouts remain an underused succession route for many owner-managed businesses
In the article, Derek Notes:
“Selling the business to the buyer that’s already in the building is very easy and it can be a seamless process. For an owner-manager who’s built a business for 25 years, the decision to sell or exit is a big one. Selling to the people you know, who have been loyal to you over the years, is a much easier decision, because you protect a lot of what you’ve built over the years.”
The article also explores the importance of early planning, realistic valuation expectations and developing the next layer of leadership well in advance of any exit.
If you are considering your succession options, whether in five years or ten, it is never too early to begin the conversation.
