Succession Planning
Owner-managed business transfers with a focus on outcomes, corporate culture and continuity.
Free Initial Consultation →A business sale is not an ending. It is the continuation of a success story.
We guide you from the first conversation through to full handover — discreetly, in a structured manner and with close attention to what matters after the sale.
Exit Strategy
An individual roadmap that takes account of your financial objectives, family situation and long-term business continuity.
Acquirer Identification & Matching
Access to 70,000+ verified acquirers — strategic partners, family offices and financial investors worldwide.
Confidential Marketing
Discreet outreach to potential acquirers under NDA — without unsettling employees, customers or suppliers.
Exit Readiness & Transition Planning
We provide access to specialist sale-readiness advisers who assess what still needs to be optimised before the actual sale process begins — to achieve the best possible proceeds. In addition, we manage the operational post-sale phase in which responsibilities and knowledge are transferred in a structured manner. Unlike exit strategy, this is not about the "what next" but the "how".
Tax & Legal Structuring
We provide access to experienced tax advisers and M&A lawyers who advise on the optimal deal structure — asset deal vs. share deal, tax holding periods and gifting arrangements. Adams Strategy coordinates; the specialists deliver the expertise.
Internal Sale
Where a sale within the family or to existing shareholders is planned, we manage this process in a structured manner — with attention to valuation, deal structure and clear agreements. Adams Strategy acts on the vendor side, not as a succession adviser.
Carve-Out
Where only a part of the business or a subsidiary is to be sold, we structure the carve-out process — from defining the perimeter of the disposal unit to acquirer outreach and contract negotiation.
Structured Bidding Process
For businesses attracting strong acquirer interest, we organise a controlled auction process — multiple qualified bidders, staged information release and maximum competitive tension for the best price.
