Welcome to Summit Partners Business Sales and Acquisitions
The Senior Partners of Summit spent many years in their specific professional practices. They were often involved in areas related to advising buyers and sellers of a wide range of businesses. This experience exposed a need for a comprehensive, more professional and all encompassing business sales & acquisitions program for owners of SME’s contemplating these often, one off events in their business life.
The partners, David Wolrige a qualified accountant with a strong accounting practice background as principal and Paul Gregory a lawyer & former managing partner, believed that many current brokers had little expertise in evaluating businesses for their clients nor had the experience to recognise value in a business. Their ability to assist in the broad range elements that make up the sale or purchase of a business such as, valuation, legalities, cultural factors, business evaluations, brand value was suspect. Therefore, often an uncoordinated team might need to be assembled for an acquisition or sale which ran the risk of being unwieldy and expensive.
The Summit Partners program provides an effective step by step approach to Sales and Acquisitions that includes everything from sourcing buyers or sellers through to the broad range of legal, accounting and negotiation requirements including pre sale due diligence, confidentiality agreements and contract for sale. As professionals we recognise that you will perhaps want to use your own advisors in many of these areas. Summit will keep all those you nominate involved in the process and provide necessary detail as required to action documents or attend meetings and briefings. Our aim is to maintain a coordinated and controlled program with no waste of time or money.
David Wolrige has drawn on more than a decadeof experience as a senior business coach. His insight into what makes businesses, particularly professional practices, run successfully provided the platform for Summit Partners Sales and Acquisition division. His dedication to driving successful outcomes for his clients has been applied to the Summit programs. Backed by Senior Partner, Paul Gregory and a team of experienced business management experts as our Consultant Partners – the Summit approach to Sales and Acquisitions is without doubt the most professional available today.
