selling a business

Fairfax Corporate Finance offers a comprehensive range of services to assist you in the sale of your company acting as a sounding board for you and as a intermediairy between you and potential buyers.

Fairfax can provide sound advice on the financial and tax-related consequences associated with business succession.

buying a business

Are you looking to expand your business though one or more takeovers? Fairfax Corporate Finance offers full-scale assistance in the acquisition process. Our first step in this process will be to discuss the underlying motives for the acquisition and the business model of your company, as these factors are the pillars on which an acquisition procedure is founded. Our next step towards ensuring a successful acquisition is to draw up a search profile directed at identifying and approaching prospective candidates. We also assist experienced managers in the acquisition of a suitable company (management buy-in). In this process, we will also be happy to help you find suitable financing, whether in cooperation with a bank or a private equity firm.
