A new chapter in ownership.
A partial sale can be an alternative to selling the whole company. Valhalla explores independent minority partnerships with owners of profitable, privately owned Norwegian businesses.
A co-owner, not a new operator.
Alongside a full sale, family succession or continued sole ownership, a minority partnership offers another route to consider. The starting point is partial liquidity and continued ownership, with operational responsibility remaining with the owner and management.
Price, ownership share, decision rights and the path to a future exit must be agreed individually. A partial sale depends on a negotiated agreement and a financed transaction; an initial discussion is not a commitment to invest.
Any later fund investment is a separate decision, subject to its own eligibility assessment. It is neither an automatic right nor a condition of selling shares in your company.
Three questions worth discussing.
What role do you want next?
Continue leading the business, share responsibility or prepare a transition? Your intentions should shape the ownership arrangement, not the other way around.
How much liquidity, how much continued ownership?
Consider the capital you would like to release alongside the value and risk you wish to retain. A partial sale needs to make sense for both you and the company.
What makes a new shareholder the right fit?
Discuss expectations for reporting, board participation, dividends and a future exit. A workable partnership starts with clear roles and written agreements.
