Two people,
not a call center.

Handover is Dimitri and Zach. We work with a small number of owners at a time, and you deal with us directly. We work alongside your accountant, lawyer and broker; we don’t replace them.

Dimitri, co-founder of Handover

Dimitri

Dimitri built and sold a business of his own, and later bought one, so he has sat on both sides of the table. He knows what it is to hand over something you built, and what a buyer looks for before they will pay for it.

His first business was a coffee company he started at university. It grew to three locations and thirteen staff, and he sold it before he was 25. He bought his second before he was 30. Since then he has built a career in strategy consulting, helping large companies work out what makes them valuable and tell that story clearly to boards, investors and buyers.

Zach, co-founder of Handover

Zach

Zach grew up in a family-run restaurant business, so small business has always been personal to him. He saw firsthand what it takes to keep one running: looking after customers, managing people, watching margins and solving whatever problem shows up that day.

Since then, he has spent more than a decade in strategy consulting and operating roles, including at BCG and Alvarez & Marsal. He has advised companies on how to grow, improve profitability, simplify their operations and understand what really drives the value of their business.

How we work

A few owners at a time

We take on a small number of businesses at once, so the people you meet on the first call are the people who do the work.

Our fees are fixed and agreed before we start. You’ll never get a bill you didn’t expect, and we never take a share of your sale.

We work alongside your accountant, your lawyer and your broker. We don’t replace any of them. We make sure that what they receive from you is complete, clear and ready for a buyer.

What we’re not

Plainly

  • We are not business brokers. We don’t list your business or find buyers.
  • We are not appraisers. Value ranges we give are indicative, not formal valuations.
  • We are not tax or legal advisers. We’ll tell you when you need one.
