Navigating a business sale

In this episode, Genevieve Cua speaks to Hsin Chih Cheng, Market Head of Southeast Asia at Pictet Wealth Management, to discuss the complexities of selling a company.

Selling a business is a transformative decision that unlocks capital and enables the pursuit of new ambitions, but it is also an emotional process that raises questions about identity, goals, and legacy.

Seeking the right advice from trusted advisors is crucial in defining objectives, navigating complexities, and preparing for the future. The lifecycle of a business involves stages from idea development to funding, challenges, and potential sale.

Strategic options for selling include private equity, strategic buyers, or an IPO. After a sale, former owners transition to investors, requiring careful wealth management and considering options like family offices, outsourced committees, or impact-driven investments.

The post-sale process is as important as pre-sale, and aligning financial goals with personal aspirations is key.
