The main people that stood out for us with the professionalism and approach were Guy Haynes and Daniel Greenfield. If you are looking to sell or buy a business we would absolutely recommend them.”

HOW DO I SELL MY IT AND SOFTWARE COMPANY?
1. Value your IT and software company
Determining the value of your IT and software company can allow you to set expectations and, if required, make changes before pursuing a sale. When looking to acquire, buyers will analyse various aspects of your company, such as:
- Existing equipment and digital resources
- Software capabilities
- Intellectual property
- Management team
- Scalability potential
- Customer relationships and contracts
- Accreditations, approvals and certifications
Being able to demonstrate the value of these elements may improve the value of the offers you receive for your IT and software company.
2. Get your finances in order
During the due diligence process of the business sale, the financial standing of your IT and software company will be scrutinised.
Naturally, you will want to accurately illustrate the strength of your revenue streams via management accounts, demonstrating the value of your products, services and ongoing customer relationships.
In addition, up-to-date statutory accounts will highlight your compliance, offering potential buyers peace of mind.
3. Clarify your internal processes
By streamlining and documenting your internet processes before opening negotiations, you will present an efficient, well-managed IT and software company.
The strength of your key processes, and how well you can communicate these, has the potential to greatly enhance the valuation of your company.
4. Prioritise your customer service
At its core, the strength of an IT and software company can be showcased by its ability to deliver outstanding customer service and maintain relationships.
IT and software solutions succeed by generating recurring revenue and, by prioritising your customer service delivery, you will be offering a company for sale that maintains a multitude of income streams.
5. Hire expert company sales consultants
Preparing for and going through a company sale can be an extensive process which requires patience, determination and commitment. However, it is not a process you must undertake alone.
Hiring expert company sales consultants allows you to continue running your IT and software business to an exceptional standard while an experienced company seller manages the sale for you.
