It has become clear over the past couple of weeks that many business owners are weary, with some not even sure they have the energy to fight through another recession. Some business owners ask whether they even have an option to sell up now.

At Corbett Keeling, we are assuring those considering an exit that, even if trading has taken a substantial hit, there remains liquidity in the market with buyers and funders still looking to invest in good opportunities. Acquirers we have spoken to in the last fortnight have confirmed they are capable of “looking through” any temporary COVID induced downturn in sellers. And crucially, there are a number of ways we can help bridge any remaining valuation gaps to achieve deal certainty.

If there is anything we can help with by way of advice, support or even if you are thinking ahead to preparing for exit, please do get in touch with us on 020 7626 6266.
