whats DIFFERENT about us?
Our primary focus is on RESULTS. Putting all the niceties and frilly stuff to the side, the bottom line is RESULTS, if we are not focused on the end result, then everything in between is a waste of time and effort, it's the results that make a difference to people's lives.
We’re proud of our proven ability to execute. It takes a lot of time, energy and money to get a deal across the finish line. You want to work with a partner who is fair, thorough and committed. When we say we intend to close a transaction, we mean it.
Value. Buying a business at its true value is not easy, sellers often have inflated expectations on the value of their business, buying a business at the optimum value is very difficult and needs a specialist professional.
Know How. Negotiating the realistic price is an artform and needs skill and expertise together with knowledge and experience in crafting deals structures that are both safe and doable and create win-win solutions for both sides.
Initiative. Access to and correct use of specialist databases plus the ability to research and identify the best strategically motivated sellers is essential for success and best achieved through an expert.
Expertise. Creating a proven and confidential acquisition process takes many years of experience. Being able to source and engage a target business, understand precisely what a seller is seeking, and what will make the seller want to sell you their business at the right price is a skill that very few "generalists" possess.
