Champion Round-Up | By Ged Cosgrove, group managing partner
We’re incredibly proud to have supported our long-standing client, Aquaflow Drainage Services, in the successful sale of their business to utility and infrastructure specialists, Ipsum.
Having worked with Aquaflow’s founders, Keith and Karen, for more than a decade, it’s been a privilege to stand alongside them during this pivotal moment.
Selling a business isn’t just a transaction – it’s an emotional, high-stakes journey. That’s why we work so closely with our clients, offering the end-to-end support they need to navigate every step with confidence.
From the early planning stages through to completion, our team was on hand to guide them through what can be one of the most demanding parts of the process – due diligence. This phase alone can be overwhelming, with intense scrutiny placed on every aspect of a business: finances, legal, tax, operations, HR, and more.
For owner-managers trying to maintain day-to-day operations while answering a barrage of buyer questions – all while keeping the sale confidential – the stress can quickly mount. That’s why preparation and teamwork are everything. They not only speed up the process but help to boost buyer confidence at every stage.
If you’re thinking about selling your business, it’s never too early to prepare. Make sure your financials are accurate and up to date. Get your contracts, licenses, and tax affairs in order. Know your customers, your suppliers, your systems, and your team. And above all, choose an advisor who’ll be with you for every twist and turn.
At Champion, we don’t just help clients build businesses – we help them build legacies.
