Answers to Your Most Important Questions

The value of your business depends on several factors, including:

• Financial performance: Revenue, profit margins, and growth trends.
• Market position: Your company’s competitive edge and licensing value.
• Industry benchmarks: How similar businesses have sold in recent transactions.
• Future growth potential: Opportunities for expansion under new ownership.

At Estrella, we conduct a detailed business valuation using proven methodologies such as cash flow analysis, comparable sales data, and industry-specific benchmarks. This ensures you have a clear, realistic understanding of your company’s worth before going to market.

The timeline for selling a business varies depending on its complexity, market conditions, and the readiness of documentation. On average:

• Small to mid-sized businesses: 4–6 months.
• Larger or highly regulated businesses: 6–12 months.

At Estrella, we streamline the process by preparing detailed materials (such as Confidential Information Memoranda and anonymized M&A teasers) and using secure Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs) to facilitate quick and efficient due diligence.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our process. Estrella protects your sensitive information through:

• Strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) signed by all potential buyers.
• Anonymized M&A teasers to attract interest without revealing your identity.
• Secure Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs) for sharing critical documents only with authorized parties.

Our approach ensures your business operations remain undisrupted and your data stays protected throughout the sale.

We maintain a global network of 10,000+ vetted buyers spanning:

• Strategic Buyers: Companies seeking synergies and growth opportunities.
• Institutional Investors: Private equity firms, venture capitalists, and financial groups.
• Industry Specialists: Buyers experienced in fintech, crypto, gaming, forex, and regulated markets.

By understanding your business and objectives, we connect you only with buyers who align with your goals.

Selling a business requires organized and up-to-date documentation to ensure a smooth process. Typically, you’ll need:

• Financial Statements: Profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports (3–5 years).
• Licensing Documentation: Proof of licenses (EMI, API, SPI, VASP, Gaming, etc.) and regulatory compliance.
• Operational Information: Key contracts, employee records, and operational processes.
• Legal Documents: Articles of incorporation, tax filings, and agreements.

Estrella assists you in gathering, organizing, and preparing these documents to ensure a streamlined due diligence process.

You don’t need to worry. One of Estrella’s key strengths is our ability to identify and connect you with qualified buyers. Our process includes:

• Developing a targeted buyer outreach strategy.
• Using anonymized teasers to attract interest while protecting confidentiality.
• Leveraging our global network of strategic and institutional buyers to find the right fit.

We do the heavy lifting to bring serious buyers to the table.

While Estrella manages the majority of the sale process, your involvement is crucial at key stages, such as:
