WITH VS. WITHOUT AN ADVISOR

Why structured competition
sets the price.

WITHOUT ADVISORY
  • A single buyer at the table. No negotiating power.
  • 15–30% price discount – without competition the first interested party dictates terms.
  • Contractual pitfalls in earn-outs and warranties go unnoticed.
  • Early leaks to employees, customers and banks.
WITH NORDVISORY
  • A structured bidding process with 3–5 indicative offers.
  • A market-based valuation as your negotiating anchor.
  • Contractual protection: earn-outs, warranties and non-compete clauses under control.
  • Anonymity preserved – employees only find out when you want them to.

OUR PROMISE

Three principles. A partnership at eye level.

01

Personal. From the first conversation to closing.

No pitch team that disappears after the first meeting.

The partners you meet at the beginning accompany you personally through to signing.

02

Structured. No improvisation.

A clearly defined process with measurable milestones.

You know at every point where you stand and what happens next.

03

Confidential. As a principle.

Nothing reaches the outside world – until you want it to.

No employee, customer or competitor learns of your plans before you give your approval.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to what sellers ask.

Typically 6–12 months – from the initial preparation to closing. More complex structures or difficult industry phases can take longer.
