Do you have an ICT business and are you looking for a respectful and seamless transfer to sell your business?
Or are you perhaps looking for the next step to grow further, with your business integrating with our technology stack? Then we would be happy to invite you to dinner to explore the possibilities over good food and a drink.
We ensure a smooth transition
- We give you valuable insights to maximise the proceeds of your sale;
- We take care of the wellbeing and development of your entire workforce;
- We want to preserve the trust of your business clients, whether large or small;
- You will speak with the founder of B/Focused and with other companies that have joined B/Focused.
Let’s talk about the options for selling or continuing your business ICT service provider, and why we are not the same as other buyers.
We want you to be able to tell your team and your family that you made the right choice in a partnership for the future. We devote genuine attention to that by spending time together and being honest and transparent, in all circumstances.
— Ralph Dykstra, founder and owner of B/Focused since 2004
How do we get a valuable conversation going?
Have you already thought about the following matters?
Sell your business to someone with the same values
Your sale price is of course important, but shared values and workplace culture are actually even more essential for integrating our companies well. At B/Focused, we care about our staff and the company culture, in which we look out for one another, but also look at the importance of a private life and not always having to be “on”. We work with an on-call rota to give everyone sufficient private time as well.
What will you do after the sale?
Think about what you want to do after selling your business. Do you want to stay on or wind down completely? If you want to stay on, what will your role look like? By staying on, you may receive less money at first, but this can pay off later on because we can better integrate clients into our joint business. In the shorter term, this is always our preference.
Be honest and transparent
It is important that we get an accurate picture of each other’s companies. Are contracts transferable? What costs exist within the company, and where can we save costs by combining our services and purchasing? What is your purchasing volume and with which suppliers do you deal? These are all matters we would like to discuss to reach the best possible deal.
