Our hourly consulting service is based on 20 years of experience in negotiating deals with the toughest buyers in the world, Private Equity Buyers. We help to balance the deal experience scale between the buyer’s team and the seller’s team. Our approach is to negotiate the LOI so that there are no unexpected surprises or haircuts at the end of due diligence. We incorporate very specific wording with formulas and examples that cannot be interpreted in the buyer’s favor no matter what big 5 accounting firm or major law firm they bring in. This results in the terms and conditions negotiated in the Letter of Intent become the terms and conditions translated into the purchase agreement. We help you get your good deal across the finish line.
