6-Step Process

How It Works

Selling a business you've spent years building is a big decision. Our process is structured so you know where you stand at every step - from the first conversation to closing day, typically within 8–12 weeks.

1

First Conversation

A relaxed, confidential discussion about your business, your goals, and what you're looking for. No pressure, no obligation - just a conversation about what might be possible. 1–2 weeks.

2

Indicative Offer

If there's mutual interest, we'll provide a preliminary valuation and offer based on the information shared. This gives you a clear sense of value before moving forward. 1–2 weeks.

3

Letter of Intent

A written summary of what we've agreed so far - price range, structure, and the framework for what happens next. Non-binding, but a clear signal that we both want to move forward. 1 week.

4

Due Diligence

A structured review of the business - financials, operations, legal, customers. We handle most of the heavy lifting; your job is to answer questions and share the documents we ask for. 3–5 weeks.

5

Final Agreement

The final share purchase agreement covering price, terms, and warranties. By this stage there are no surprises - everything has been discussed openly along the way. 1–2 weeks.

6

Welcome to the Group

Closing day, and the start of the next chapter. From day one, you have access to AutoCap's central support - and you keep doing what you've always done, just with more behind you. Ongoing.

Typical timeline: 8–12 weeks from first conversation to completion
