Build the right foundations

We occasionally speak to founders who can see a business sale or retirement from their financial planning firm on the horizon in the next few years but aren’t yet ready to exit their business. In these cases, we work alongside you to prepare for a business sale and ensure you get the best deal possible when the time comes.

Our process

"Simon and Nancy at Chapters Capital took an informed approach to finding potential acquirers who would meet our brief, and as a result they saved us a lot of time with ‘quality’, rather than ‘quantity’ of meetings. 

When we found the right partner, they helped immensely in guiding us through the process to a successful conclusion."
