Services
Business sale and acquisition support in Singapore
Help for owners preparing to sell a Singapore business, and for buyers looking to acquire one.
In short: QP Advisory helps business owners prepare a company or business for sale, organise the information buyers expect, and coordinate the process with lawyers, accountants and valuers. We also support buyers in organising their review of a target. We do not guarantee a sale, a buyer or a price.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to sell a business?
It varies widely depending on the business, the buyer and the terms. Preparation before approaching buyers often shortens the process.
How is confidentiality protected?
We recommend a non-disclosure agreement before sensitive information is shared, and we share information in stages.
Can overseas buyers acquire a Singapore company?
In many cases, yes. Specific sectors may have additional requirements, and legal advice should be obtained for each transaction.
Do you find buyers?
We can help prepare you to approach buyers and coordinate discussions. Whether introductions are part of the scope is agreed in writing.
