About Us

Paul Dallibar MD

We recog­nise that your busi­ness is not immune from the demo­graph­ic changes in the UK. In 2011 the first of the ​“baby boomers” born in 1946 start­ed retiring. 

This will have a sig­nif­i­cant impact on your busi­ness. As cus­tomers, staff, sup­pli­ers and com­peti­tors age, it will effect your busi­ness and the key deci­sions you need to make about how you want to fin­ish your entre­prenue­r­i­al jour­ney and pre­serve your legacy.

How Gor­dian Solu­tions can help you

With only 40% of SME own­ers aged 60 or over cur­rent­ly deal­ing with their retire­ment and just 36% with a clear suc­ces­sion plan in place (Eco­nom­ic Intel­li­gence Unit 2013) most are leav­ing it to chance that their busi­ness will be attrac­tive enough to buy­ers or robust enough to with­stand an unex­pect­ed event that removes them from run­ning the business.

Work­ing with Gor­dian Solu­tions can offer you a much bet­ter chance of a suc­cess­ful busi­ness exit or han­dover to a cho­sen suc­ces­sor. Our research, col­lec­tive knowl­edge, skills and access to exter­nal sup­port will help iden­ti­fy the best pos­si­ble strate­gies to meet your require­ments and build the right plan to achieve them.

A solu­tion to fit your requirements

If you plan to sell, we’ll con­cen­trate on the key busi­ness cri­te­ria poten­tial buy­ers are look­ing for and help increase the attrac­tive­ness of your busi­ness, giv­ing you the best pos­si­ble oppor­tu­ni­ty to max­imise your returns.

If your lega­cy is to be con­tin­ued through a cho­sen suc­ces­sor, work­ing with us will ensure the can­di­date has been prop­er­ly assessed, poten­tial risks are iden­ti­fied and a com­pre­hen­sive han­dover plan is put in place to ensure the smoothest pos­si­ble handover. 

Our in-house skills and expe­ri­ences have been gained across a broad range of indus­tries and com­pa­nies large and small, includ­ing both com­mer­cial and not-for-prof­it busi­ness­es. These skills are backed up by a trust­ed net­work of spe­cial­ist asso­ciates we can call on as and when required.

Vision & Mission

The com­pa­ny vision is to be THE trust­ed advis­er for busi­ness own­ers look­ing to exit their business.

Our mis­sion is to pro­vide a high­ly pro­fes­sion­al and con­fi­den­tial ser­vice help­ing own­ers to plan their busi­ness exit strat­e­gy, set up a roadmap for the busi­ness and suc­cess­ful­ly man­age the project through to completion.
