HOW TO SELL YOUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

Although selling your construction company may seem daunting, the business sales industry is an active environment bursting with opportunity.

Working with an expert sales adviser like KBS Corporate will connect you with an extensive network of buyers looking for construction companies, including trade buyers already operating in the sector and private equity firms eager to invest.

With KBS Corporate’s assistance you will be guided through the comprehensive sales process, including initial valuation, business negotiations, due diligence and the conclusive management of assets.

THE RIGHT TIME TO SELL YOUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

Knowing when to sell your company can be influenced by several factors, such as:

  • You have achieved your personal goals and wish to pursue new opportunities
  • Your markets of operation are favourable, enhancing the value of your construction company
  • You are ready to action your retirement plans
  • You believe your company can grow further with new leadership

Selling a company is an extensive process and it is never too early to put a sale in motion if you are considering an exit. If you are unsure whether it is the right time to sell, do not hesitate to get in touch with KBS Corporate for a no-obligation discussion.

VALUING YOUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

Buyers will consider various factors when recognising the value of your construction company, including owned plant and machinery; your workforce and key employees; client relationships and ongoing projects; and the profitability of the business.

While it can be beneficial to value your assets, construction market conditions will dictate how much your company is worth at that time. The value of companies within the industry can be influenced by evolving legislation and the demand for both commercial and private developments.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with KBS Corporate to talk through current market conditions.

By working with KBS Corporate, you will be able to reach a larger pool of buyers, enhancing your chances of finding a suitable acquirer in a smaller window of time.

SIX STEPS TO MAKE YOUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY ATTRACTIVE TO BUYERS

Timing your sale

Take your time to discuss your options with KBS Corporate and identify the right time to approach our global buyers network.

Diversifying your revenue

Demonstrating multiple revenue streams being generated from a broad range of construction projects will present you as an attractive opportunity to potential buyers. 

Ensuring your equipment is in optimal condition

Plant and machinery used by your construction business will be a significant consideration during an acquisition. Make sure your equipment is operating optimally and in the ideal condition for new owners. 

Getting your finances in order

Organised finances will facilitate a much smoother sales process. Take your time over preparing up-to-date accounts and creating a revenue portfolio that demonstrates current and secured future income. 

Strengthening your workforce

Recognising your key employees who will be key assets post-sale will strengthen your construction company as an acquisition opportunity, offering buyers peace of mind that they will be overseeing a smooth operation. 

Standing out from the competition

KBS Corporate will work with you to produce marketing materials which promote your unique selling points and ensure you stand out from other construction companies available to potential buyers.
