Business sale advice for established business owners
Maybe you've made the decision. Maybe you haven't.
Either way, you'll want to understand what your business is realistically worth, whether the market is likely to pay it, who the right buyer might be and what happens to the people and customers you've spent years looking after.
T360P Complete Business Exit gives you one personally led process from understanding your options through to finding the right buyer and completing the sale.
How we find businesses for buyers
No obligation. Completely confidential.
"An exit you can feel comfortable walking away from."
Based in Congleton, Cheshire, Transition 360 Partners supports business owners across Greater Manchester, the North West and throughout the UK.
We provide personally led business sale advisory services, helping owners understand their business's value, identify suitable buyers and navigate negotiations through to completion.
The outcome
Selling your business isn't simply about achieving the highest headline price.
It's about achieving the financial outcome you need, finding a buyer you're comfortable with and getting the transaction successfully through to completion.
For many owners, it also means knowing that the business, employees and customers they've spent years looking after are going to the right home.
That's what T360P Complete Business Exit is designed to help you achieve.
T360P Complete Business Exit
T360P Complete Business Exit is our end-to-end business sale service.
From establishing a realistic valuation and preparing your business for market, through finding and qualifying buyers, negotiating offers, Heads of Terms and due diligence, Gavin remains your main adviser through to completion.
You continue running your business. We lead the sale around you.
How it works
Stage 01
Understand what the numbers suggest your business is worth and whether the market is realistically likely to pay it.
Stage 02
Gather the information buyers will need, prepare the Information Memorandum and organise the pre-sale information and data room.
Stage 03
Identify and proactively approach potential acquirers confidentially.
Stage 04
Assess buyer rationale, credibility, strategic fit, decision-making authority, proposed funding route and intended deal structure.
Stage 05
Compare the whole deal, not simply the headline price.
Stage 06
Negotiate the commercial terms and progress the chosen buyer into Heads of Terms.
Stage 07
Coordinate the process and help manage the inevitable questions, pressure and negotiation.
Stage 08
Work alongside the seller's professional advisers and remain involved through to completion.
A valuation tells you what the numbers suggest. Saleability asks whether the market is likely to pay it.

About Gavin
You won't be passed from the person who won your business to somebody else once you've signed.
Gavin Page, Founder and Director of Transition 360 Partners, remains your main adviser throughout the transaction.
Gavin has been on the other side of the table himself, having built a group through nine acquisitions.
That buyer-side experience matters when assessing offers, challenging deal structures, qualifying potential acquirers and understanding what a buyer is likely to look for during due diligence.
Personally led from the first confidential conversation through to completion.
How we find businesses for buyers
Experience
Before founding Transition 360 Partners Ltd, Gavin built and ran his own group of businesses, completing nine acquisitions as part of its growth.
He's experienced transactions as a buyer, business owner and adviser, and now uses that experience to help owners navigate their own exit.
Knowing what buyers look for, where they'll challenge the numbers and what can cause a deal to stall makes a difference when you're sitting on the seller's side of the table.

Gavin built and ran his own group of businesses, completing nine acquisitions as part of its growth.
He has run businesses himself, so he understands what the years of building actually feel like.
He now uses that experience to help owners navigate their own exit, sitting on the seller's side of the table.
Completed deals
Before asking an owner to trust us with one of the biggest transactions of their life, we think they should be able to see evidence of how we've handled real transactions.

View completed dealsThe right buyer
£1.5 million from one buyer isn't necessarily better than £1.4 million from another.
We help you look beyond the headline number and understand what you're actually being offered.
We establish what matters to you before you're faced with competing offers, then help you assess potential buyers and deal structures against those priorities.
No false hope
Nobody can honestly guarantee that your business will sell, exactly how long it will take or precisely what a buyer will ultimately pay.
We won't pretend otherwise.
What we can give you is a realistic assessment, a properly prepared business, proactive access to potential buyers, qualified conversations and clear feedback from the market.
If the market tells us something different from what we expected, we'll tell you.
We don't sell certainty that doesn't exist. We give you clarity about the uncertainty.

Communication
While your business is actively marketed, you'll receive a weekly seller update, even when there hasn't been a major development.
You'll know what's happening with your business sale and what happens next.
Your weekly seller update
From Gavin, every week your business is on the market.
Professional advisers
You're always free to use your existing solicitor, accountant and tax advisers.
If you need additional support, T360P can also introduce you to independent experienced solicitors and accountants who understand business transactions.
They remain independently appointed professional advisers.
Gavin remains responsible for leading and coordinating the sale process.
Fees
We explain our fees clearly before you instruct us, including what's payable at the start, at Heads of Terms, and when your sale completes.
Read our feesWhere we work
Transition 360 Partners is an independent business brokerage and M&A advisory firm based in Congleton, Cheshire.
We work with owners of privately held businesses throughout Cheshire, Greater Manchester and the wider North West of England, as well as supporting business sales across the UK.
Whether your business is based in Macclesfield, Stockport, Manchester, Warrington, Chester or elsewhere in the country, our approach remains the same.
You'll work directly with Gavin Page, who brings first-hand acquisition and business ownership experience to the sale process.
From realistic business valuations and confidential buyer identification through to negotiation, due diligence and completion, we help owners navigate the decisions involved in selling their businesses.
Our focus is not simply on achieving a headline price. It is on finding a credible buyer, agreeing an achievable transaction structure and helping you complete an exit you can feel comfortable walking away from.
Common questions
Start here
You don't need to decide today that you're definitely selling.
The first step is simply to understand your position.
We'll discuss where you are now, why you're considering an exit, what matters to you and what you would ideally like to achieve.
From there, Gavin can give you an initial view on:
Value · Saleability · Likely buyer market · Potential obstacles · Sensible next steps
No pressure. No unrealistic promises. No obligation. Completely confidential.
