Sell Side Process

If you are looking to sell your business or a division of your group, we will:

  • Study your company history, ownership structure, customers, suppliers, competition, products, technologies, organization, financials, etc. – and draft a thorough Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), which we will send to potential buyers.
  • Research the market and determine a strong targeting rationale, and establish an exhaustive list of potential buyers, particularly from overseas: ones that would be a good fit for your business and would see the greatest strategic value in it.
  • Help with the drafting of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and other documents, such as the “teaser” and a process letter.
  • Assist with management presentations and facility tours when it comes time to meet the prospective buyers.
  • Help with the negotiations and valuation of your company, leading to your acceptance of the formal offer, or Letter of Intent (LOI).
  • Make sure there’s a proper, well organized data room (paper or electronic) to minimize disruptions to the business during due diligence.
  • Stay close to the buyer to anticipate potential misunderstandings.
  • Coordinate the involvement of your other technical experts (lawyers, accountants, bankers, etc.).
  • Assist with the closing of the deal.


"We would like to highly recommend CANEC International as an advisor to run the process of a corporate divestiture. With its in-depth knowledge of the automotive and plastics industries as well as its transatlantic positioning, CANEC’s team was able to do a great job in attracting European and North American buyers, both strategic and financial players. Furthermore, thanks to a well written information memorandum, a smooth coordination of management presentations, data room and due diligence, they were able to create the sort of “deal tension” that eventually allowed us to finalize our transaction."
