Endeavour Business Sales (Endeavour) was formed in 2014 to help owners buy and sell businesses. Endeavour operates in the SME market, which in practical terms means businesses valued between $3 million and $20 million.
ABOUT
Endeavour was founded on the following key principles;
-
Endeavour's advisors are not brokers. We commit time to understand our client's objectives and to build an in-depth understanding of their business before engaging with the market in a targeted way.
-
Our job is to help our clients achieve their objectives. As every business and situation is different, the approach to each transaction is tailored to optimise outcomes and ensure all clients' objectives are met.
-
Endeavour’s advisors observe the highest standards of integrity and confidentiality. Our behaviour should always reflect positively on our clients.
RECENT TRANSACTIONS
Endeavour is wholly-owned by Antipodes, a private investment bank. Established in 1998, Antipodes is a specialist corporate finance advisor to large New Zealand and multi-national companies. Antipodes founded Endeavour because it recognised that owners of substantial New Zealand SME’s were not receiving the quality of service, robustness of approach and ultimate outcomes that their businesses deserved.
OUR DIFFERENCE
A successful business reflects many years of hard work and sacrifice. Endeavour believes business owners deserve a much more considered approach to realising value rather than the 'list and advertise' approach adopted by business brokers.
Endeavour's approach is more robust. As strong advocates of thorough preparation, we seek to understand shareholder objectives and then devise the most appropriate sale strategy. Taking the time to thoroughly understand the business, including its market position and key value drivers, we think strategically about logical and optimal purchasers.
Endeavour is focused on presenting the business in its best possible way, to the best potential acquirers.
Endeavour's targeted approach and pre-qualification of potential purchasers is designed to optimise the probability that a sale will be achieved, maximise the value outcome and secure the best possible terms for ourclients. At all times we seek to protect our client's business by limiting the dissemination of sensitive and confidential information about the business.
Elements of the overall sale process can include:
-
Pre-sale preparation including assessing salability and readiness for sale.
-
Assessing valuation parameters.
-
Market scoping to identify potential acquirers.
-
Development of appropriate business sales strategy.
-
Preparation of marketing materials including Information Memorandum.
-
Management of due diligence process.
-
Commercial input into contract negotiation.
-
Overall project management to drive transaction completion.
