Selling a business – why external support is vital throughout the process.
At bennettbrooks, we are proud to support business owners through key milestones on their business journey—and few are more significant than the successful sale of a company.
Our team recently provided strategic support to the shareholders of Macclesfield based RoBAT, who specialise in automated test equipment for the automotive and aerospace sectors, during their sale to Mycronic, a listed Swedish technology group.
The acquisition marks a major milestone for RoBAT, whose innovations in electrical testing systems have earned them an international reputation. For Mycronic’s Global Technologies division, the deal strengthens their Industrial Process business area with RoBAT’s niche expertise and proven customer base.
The transaction required close collaboration between legal, financial, and strategic advisors and the team at bennettbrooks played a crucial role in supporting the shareholders with financial due diligence, tax structuring, and pre-sale planning. Our business advisory team worked alongside the corporate lawyers at Bermans to ensure the sale process ran smoothly from start to finish.
Planning ahead for a successful exit
We know that selling a business involves much more than just finding the right buyer. Our early involvement helped RoBAT’s shareholders plan ahead—considering the tax implications, preparing the business for sale, and ensuring the deal structure aligned with their long-term financial goals.
Whether you are planning a sale in the next few years or simply exploring your exit options, engaging experienced advisers at the right time can help you retain value, reduce risk, and achieve the outcome you want.
