How We Work With Our Partners
Stage 1
Meetings between owners and our Board
If the visions align, ours with yours, and a mutual agreement is reached, then we make a provisional offer for the business. This is made based on the belief we have the right elements to make that business even more successful.
Stage 2
Business & Financial Assessment
An audit of the business is conducted to determine the processes currently in place, to assess the viability of the business and what would need to be implemented to bring about the stated goals and targets. A full financial report is prepared and a valuation conducted along with the usual diligence.
Stage 3
Agreement to Partner
If all is agreed, we draw up and sign the agreement to bring your company under the wing of the KBI Group. Then, we start the transition process and implement plans for future growth and success.
