The Exit Playbook: How to stay in control of your SME's sale

​Selling a company is not just about price.

​The success of a transaction depends on how the process is designed and managed: the preparation upfront, the selection of the right buyer, the ability to create competitive tension, and the mastery of the mechanisms that truly matter at closing.

​Too often, founders enter negotiations without fully understanding the rules of the game: they focus on the headline price without anticipating the real impact of price adjustments, poorly structured earn-outs, excessive warranties, or negotiations led against far more experienced buyers.

​Join us on May 26 to gain the clarity and tools to approach your next exit with confidence. You will walk away with a clear understanding of the key steps in the process, identify the levers that strengthen your position, and learn how to avoid the pitfalls that can turn a great deal into a disappointing outcome.

​The session will be led by Pierre-Alexis Léonard and Johan Luntumbue from DUPS.
