QUESTIONS CLIENTS ASK
Frequently asked questions
When should we appoint an adviser for a sale?
Ideally six to twelve months before you want to sign, so there is time to prepare the numbers, fix diligence issues and run a competitive process.
How is the fee structured?
Usually a retainer plus a success fee on completion. For some sell-side mandates we work on a success-based fee only. Terms are set in a written engagement letter.
Do you handle cross-border deals?
Yes. We work on Indian and international transactions, including a current sell-side mandate in Lisbon.
How do you keep the process confidential?
Buyers see a no-names teaser first, sign an NDA before receiving the information memorandum, and access documents only through a controlled data room.
Thinking about a sale, acquisition or partnership?
A 30-minute conversation is usually enough to tell whether the timing and the market are right.
