Our services in this area relate to the implementation of the transaction itself and include:

• the identification of investors, acquirers on the sell side
• identifying and/or assessing business opportunities for acquisition or investment
• representing either the acquirer or vendor in negotiating the transaction
• assisting legal counsel in preparing legal documentation
• introductions to our networks and contacts

Our experience in dealing on both the sell and buy sides of the transaction has been invaluable to our client base.

Applications for Finance
We are often involved in sourcing debt finance for our clients. In order to secure the finance on reasonable terms and conditions, it is critical that the client is adequately presented to the financier. The application for finance document is the opportunity to present the business to the financier in an appropriate way.
