WINNERGE REFERRAL PARTNERS

Do you know a business owner considering a sale?

Winnerge works with individuals and professionals who can introduce us to business owners considering the sale of their company.
Before any introduction is made, we agree how the relationship will work, the terms and the referral fee. If an introduction leads to a transaction that closes, the referral fee is paid in accordance with the agreement.

WHEN TO MAKE AN INTRODUCTION

When might an introduction to Winnerge make sense?

You can introduce a business owner who is still considering a sale, has already decided to proceed or has received an offer. Succession planning or the absence of a family successor can also lead an owner to consider selling.


Considering a sale

The business owner is considering a sale but has not yet decided whether to sell or when.



Has decided to sell

The decision has been made and the business owner wants to start preparing the company and identifying potential buyers.



Has received an offer

A buyer has already approached the owner, who wants to understand whether the offer fairly reflects the value of the business before deciding.



Thinking about the future of the business

A generational transition, the absence of an interested successor or changing personal circumstances may lead the business owner to consider a sale.


WHO CAN MAKE AN INTRODUCTION

Introductions can come through different relationships

It may be a client, a business owner in your network or someone you know personally.
You can make the introduction in whatever way feels most natural. No M&A expertise is required.


Are you a professional advisor?


If your work brings you into contact with a business owner considering a sale, you can tell them about Winnerge and, if they are interested, make an introduction.

If you are looking to use Winnerge services as part of your work with clients, we have a dedicated page for accountants and professional advisors.

Are you a business owner or manager?


If someone in your network is considering the sale of their company, you can tell them about Winnerge and introduce us if they feel it would be useful.



Do you know a business owner personally?


If a business owner has spoken to you about the possibility of selling their company, you can introduce them to Winnerge. They can then decide whether they want to take the conversation further.


HOW THE REFERRAL PROGRAM WORKS

A clear agreement for an ongoing relationship

Before the first introduction, we agree the terms of the relationship under a single agreement, typically for one year. The agreement sets out how the arrangement works, its duration and the referral fee payable when an introduction leads to a completed transaction.
From that point on, whenever an opportunity comes up, you can contact us directly.


We get to know each other

We start with an initial conversation to introduce ourselves, explain how the referral arrangement works and answer your questions.



We formalise the arrangement

We sign the Referral Agreement, with the terms and referral fee agreed upfront for its full duration.



When an opportunity comes up

When you know a business owner considering a sale, you contact us and we agree the most appropriate way to make the introduction.



If this way of working together makes sense for you, the next step is an initial conversation.
