Workshops & training

Sell-side workshop for founders

Thinking about selling your business? Let’s talk. 

If you are considering a full or partial sale – now or in the future – our experienced M&A team at Gateley Middle East are running complimentary private 1:1 sell-side workshops for entrepreneurs, founders and C-suite leadership who want to understand the deal process from a seller’s perspective.

During the workshop, we will walk you through the full lifecycle of a sale – from identifying buyers and negotiating offers, to discussing key legal pitfalls and priorities for sellers and ultimately getting the deal done (including the bit where you get paid). Whether you’re exit-curious or ready to move, this session will arm you with practical, founder-focused insights to help you navigate the journey ahead. 

We’ve advised founders across the region (and beyond) and know that every deal is personal. That’s why we keep our approach collaborative, accessible and focused on the detail that matters most to sellers. 

• Explore your options
• Get clear, practical insights
• Build your strategy before stepping into the market
