It had to be the right price to get the sponsor to exit” • Start exit preparation early • “Two years prior to sale, we re-positioned and re-branded the company, and built the momentum carefully” • Ensure continuity of management teams or clear succession planning – it gives buyers confidence • “The management team typically have golden handcuffs for 3 years after we exit” • Take advice on currency exposure/ risks • “How a deal is structured is key. With currency fluctuations and other external events, a pure vanilla equity exposure can be risky"
