SME Owners
Are you a business owner looking to take the next step?
We enhance a company’s potential by pairing SMEs with expert operators with deep industry knowledge for continuity and growth. If you’re facing succession challenges in your business, we can accelerate your SME growth and ensure seamless succession to maximize potential.
How do we do this?
Through three Post-Closing options:
NCA enables sellers to fully step away post-sale, with optional limited consulting or involvement (e.g., sales partnerships or board roles) on a case-by-case basis.
For sellers not yet ready for full exit, NCA supports a phased handover (typically 6–18 months) with pre-agreed salary and benefits.
Sellers can remain actively involved post-sale, especially if others are exiting or the business requires their ongoing leadership; equity rollover and pre-set compensation are standard.
NCA is dedicated to finding the right transition structure and timeline for all sellers and any key management employees looking to step-away or reset their obligations following the transaction. NCA and our searchers have actively and successfully navigated all 3 general transition situations described above
