Beyond the Listing: The Power of Confidentiality in SME Sales

September 18, 2025

The Threat to Value

For a small business, a sale announcement can trigger a crisis:

  • Employee Exodus: Key employees may fear job loss and leave, destabilizing operations.

  • Customer Uncertainty: Regular clients may seek alternatives, fearing a decline in service quality.

  • Competitor Scrutiny: Rivals may use the news to aggressively target your clients.

Any of these issues will immediately lower the sale price and complicate the closing process.
