Buying a business, even if the process runs smoothly, is a challenging time and there is no ‘one size fits all’ business acquisition process – every transaction is different and therefore every business transfer is unique. By taking time to both really understand the buyer’s criteria and the target’s needs and discuss with both parties the journey ahead, we maximise the likelihood of success and minimise the level of stress and disruption.
At every stage of the acquisition process our attitude is about being prepared, being detailed, being specific rather than generic, building trust and fostering relationships. Acquisitions are best achieved in an environment where buyer and seller trust both each other and their advisers.
