Mergers, Acquisitions & Exit Advisory

Nuathir prepares business owners for a successful sale and manages the process from valuation through to close, drawing on Ibrahim Roshdy Elgendy's personal record of seven successful exits and sell-outs.

Prepare for a successful sale, and manage it from valuation to close

A well-run exit is built long before a buyer appears. Having personally led seven exit and sell-out transactions, Nuathir brings an operator's eye to both sides of a transaction: what makes a business genuinely sellable, and what a buyer will actually pay for.

Exit readiness & valuation

We assess commercial and operational readiness for sale, clean up financial and reporting structures, and build the valuation model and business case that will stand up to buyer scrutiny.

Buyer & investor sourcing

We identify and approach credible strategic and financial buyers, position the business to the right audience, and lead negotiation of terms on the seller's behalf.

Due diligence & transaction support

We manage the due diligence process end to end, coordinating with legal and financial advisors, and stay engaged through to closing to keep the transaction on track.

What buyers pay for

What makes a food business sellable

The number of outlets matters less than most owners think. What buyers pay a premium for is a business that can run without depending on any one person.

Documented systems and procedures that a new owner can rely on
A capable management team that stays after the sale
Financial and operating numbers a buyer can verify and trust
A brand and customer base with a clear position in the market
Clean legal, lease and supplier arrangements, ready for due diligence
A credible growth plan the buyer can see themselves executing

Track record

A convenience store concept built from scratch, opened in seven locations, then sold at a 30% premium.

Modernized, then sold at a 70% premium

A full program of modernization, restructuring and brand facelifting, ending in one of the strongest exits in the portfolio.

Turnaround, then a premium to book value
