Why is Helen Gailey capable of helping you?
We successfully sold our first company, achieving a remarkable 5 times the future EBIT to a prominent industrial group. With the proceeds, I ventured into acquiring another company – a decision that would prove to be a pivotal lesson in the complex world of business transactions.
Regrettably, it was just before the 2009 financial collapse. Believing I had all the answers, I made the audacious move to change countries, relocate my family, and assumed my financial resources would secure expert advice. Little did I know, money can attract individuals more interested in their share than your success. I overpaid for the company, even putting up personal collateral based on misguided advice. From Day 1, the deal was destined for challenges.
Trusting the advice of bankers and lawyers, I later discovered that commissions clouded the deal, and the company’s true value did not align with my substantial investment. The promised future cash flow, intended to repay the Management Buy In (MBI), was far from reality. I failed to conduct my own Due Diligence, naively relying on the assurances of lawyers and auditors. These oversights led to financial liquidation and the painful loss of my personal fortune.
This experience, though incredibly tough, uniquely positions me to guide you. I understand the pitfalls firsthand, and I know what to look for. If you’re navigating the complex terrain of business acquisitions, my insights can be your compass, helping you avoid the pitfalls that once cost me dearly.

No, the ‘Sell Your Business’ program is not a brokerage service and does not directly find buyers for your business. Instead, it focuses on empowering you as the business owner. Our program guides you through a comprehensive process of self-assessment, optimization, and preparation for an investor pitch. This strategic approach allows you to showcase your business effectively and attract potential investors or buyers. While the program provides valuable insights and tools, the ultimate responsibility for finding a buyer remains with the business owner. However, Helen can offer guidance on where to find and select your optimised buyer during the coaching sessions.
