Blue Shrimp was established to provide professional services to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and, in particular, owners of companies who may require to talk to someone outside their own organisation in a private and totally confidential way. Large and corporate companies have a range of different information and help available to them. This help and advice has not been easily available to SMEs; until now. Through Blue Shrimp you can get valuable advice, guidance and practical help.

The Blue Shrimp Directors are people who have many years of business experience in senior directorship roles. They have run companies and know how lonely the seat at the top can be. You may want to:

• Review your position with a view to planning your exit from the business
• Grow the business by acquisition
• Merge with another company to maximise income and performance
• Sell your company as soon as possible
• Pass on your company to your family

Blue Shrimp can help you by assisting with your plans for the future. But unlike many management consultants, we do not just provide theories about what could be done – we actually help you do it.

Selling Your Company

Do you want to sell? It is important that every owner has an exit plan that maximises value from the business, especially if it is timed for within the next one or two years. You may need:

• Impartial advice on the sale process and valuation
• A marketing plan for the company
• Professional documentation for prospective buyers
• A negotiator to act on your behalf

Acquisition or Merger

Do you want to grow your business quickly by acquisition, merger or joint venture? Typically such a project will include:

• An examination of the possible effects on the business (positive and negative)
• Agreeing parameters and searching for defined targets
• Negotiating
• Sourcing finance
