InterCapital in partnership with Lep Elevate Partners

Services · Sell-side advisory

Selling a company is the most important transaction of your life. Run it like one.

A structured, confidential sale process designed to create competition among qualified buyers — and to protect your price, your terms, and your people, from the first conversation to the final signature.

Why a structured process

You will sell once. Your buyer has bought many times.

Most owners negotiate the sale of their company exactly once — against counterparties who acquire businesses for a living. A structured, competitive process corrects that asymmetry. Our research on 104 Slovenian transactions found that sellers represented by a financial advisor achieved a median of 15.7× EV/EBIT versus 9.4× without one.

We typically advise sellers on companies with enterprise values between €5 million and €250 million — family businesses, founder-led companies, and corporate carve-outs across Slovenia and the Adriatic region.

Confidentiality first

Buyers are approached under NDA with anonymized materials. Your employees, customers, and competitors learn about the process when you decide they should — not before.

Global buyer reach

Through InterCapital and the Mergers Alliance network — ranked the #1 international mid-market M&A partnership by value (LSEG, FY2025) — your company is presented to qualified strategic and financial buyers worldwide, not just regionally.

Aligned fees

Our compensation is weighted toward success. We earn when you close — at a price and on terms you accept.

Senior execution

The partner you meet in the first conversation negotiates on your behalf at the closing table. No hand-offs to junior teams.

The process

Six stages. Six to nine months.

  1. Preparation & valuationReadiness review, valuation perspective, deal strategy, and the decision of whether — and when — to go to market.

  3. Confidential outreachA curated buyer universe — strategic and financial, regional and global via Mergers Alliance — approached under NDA.
