Selling your business internationally

Selling your business to a foreign party is a slightly different process than a domestic business acquisition. There are various additional factors to consider, such as legal and regulatory requirements, the tax landscape, language and culture. This necessitates specific knowledge and expert guidance. Moreover, you will interact with foreign advisors guiding the buying party, adding complexity to the process.

Once you've decided to sell your business abroad, it's crucial to maintain focus on business operations. Potential buyers scrutinise past figures but, more importantly, future expectations. This is why it is vital for you to keep driving the business forward while preparing for the international leap.

While you may not always be able to control who the interested buyers for your business will be, you can assess which region aligns best with your wishes and ambitions.
