SELL-SIDE M&A ADVISORY SERVICES
Growth, wealth or exit?
We'll find you the best deal.
No matter if you’re looking for a full sale, part sale or the right strategic partner, we will find the right buyer for you. Every business owner needs an exit strategy – a roadmap. At some stage, you’ll want to de-risk your business and externalise your wealth. And when you do, you’ll want a partner on your side to maximise your value.
Through our process and extensive global networks, Deal Leaders International attracts a far wider audience than the obvious choices to help you grow your business, extract value or exit through a strategically sound equity deal. Our approach is all about you, the seller. What's important to you is important to us. We only triumph when you do.
We typically recommend companies with an EBITDA between R20 million and R300 million per year to attract good acquirers. However, we welcome businesses of all sizes as we can assist in developing a roadmap to saleability.​
Not sure if you're ready to sell?
Even if you're not ready to sell, it’s important to understand what your business is worth in the current market conditions. That way, you'll be able to act when the time is right.
Our business valuations are more than just providing a number; they are a strategic exercise that gives valuable insights into the value of your business and future potential.
Get the inside track on how we connects top-tier businesses with the right buyers to secure the best possible deals.
With R360 million in deal value concluded already this year and transactions exceeding R5 billion in combined value currently in progress, we continue to achieve outstanding results for business owners looking to unlock maximum value.
