Let's Get Started
  • I have been through a few potential sales opportunities with my business now and have certainly learnt a lot along the way. Opes however was the first that really listened to the future plans and goals for my company which provided me with great confidence into the future success and planning for where we were going and the positive transition for our great team of people. Every step of the process was professionally dealt with and well considered. A key part for me personally was to feel comfortable with the individuals that would be working with us moving forward and ensuring that our existing structure remained intact. You and your team did provide me with that comfort and I knew it would continue in the direction we wanted. As I am sure for most any family business that has been attached to the owners for such a long time the deal structure is one of the hardest parts to agree and letting go is extremely hard. The team at Opes really tried to tailor a deal that worked for all concerned and were always open to finding alternative ways to keep our deal in tact in what was extremely challenging times with the COVID pandemic. Unfortunately due to the pandemic and certain industry uncertainties it made it very difficult for the sale of our business to continue with Opes at that time which was of no reasoning towards Opes but simply a timing issue.

  • In all my dealings with Opes I found them to be very Professional to work with. They listened to what I had to say and the way I wanted to move forward with the business. We had several meetings where they explained the process from their perspective and we looked at several options for ways to meet both my and their expectations. The whole process was enjoyable and also enlightening to see and hear different views, we eventually came to an informed structure for acquisition. I would recommend Opes as a company that listens and structures their proposal around the owners expectations.

  • We have met Jed in person and held numerous calls on Zoom with his colleagues, regarding the possible sale of our company to Opes Strategy Group. They were professional, diligent and genuinely interested in the key staff in our business. I would recommend them if you are looking to sell your Business.

FAQs

1What can I expect from OSG during this process?
You can expect a professional, honest and tailored experience. Ultimately we want to create a value and structure that works for you, your future plans and the sustainability of the business.
2How much is my business worth?
This is a complex question so we prefer to use a simple calculation of 3-5x the EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation) as a guide. We understand that sometimes Directors choose to remunerate themselves with a low salary and dividends and we can adjust for circumstances like this.
3How do you compile an offer?
We are flexible on the terms and the price of the business and are looking to pay good money for good businesses. Our offers are based upon the proven historic financials of the business and the terms agreed with the vendor given their own individual circumstances and needs. It is essential to us that we understand how we can help you achieve your goals for a mutually beneficial outcome.
4How quickly can I get an offer?
Within 24 hours of OSG receiving the required information and having a confidential chat to see exactly what you are looking to achieve. The items required are: 1. The past 3-5 year’s financial statements. 2. Any forecasts that exist. 3. A summary or copies of all employment contracts. 4. A summary or copies of any significant lease obligations. 5. A summary of any significant legal suits. 6. Any supplementary information that you/we may consider relevant. After our review, it is our intention to begin substantive negotiations arriving at a letter of intent and continuing due diligence effort
5How long does it take to sell my business to OSG?
This varies depending on the size and quality of the information that the business can supply us. As a general rule 3 months but we can work faster.
6What will happen to my business and staff once I have sold?
Our business aims are simple and straightforward. It is our intention to purchase, partner and continue to grow businesses with the existing management team and staff remaining in place by adding support where it is required.
7How are you funded?
The consideration payable under any Offer may be met from a combination of the cash invested by OSG board members and via our network of debt funding providers. To achieve the highest valuations we do offer the opportunity for vendors to boost their valuations by participating in vendor loan notes.
8Why do OSG want to buy my business?
OSG are a group of private investors that have a lot of passion for business. We have experienced ALOT over our years and we want to pass this previously inaccessible level of knowledge to our small businesses and their staff. It's this added value that then creates equity for OSG as a reward for the time spent nurturing and growing the businesses.
