Offer Review
Working directly with one buyer in a “proprietary deal” or “negotiated sale” comes with significant dangers. Buyers who don’t face competition pay less, enforce worse terms, and often extend diligence timelines and re-negotiate at the finish line (why wouldn’t they, after all?)
But, not all unsolicited offers are created equal. Sometimes, if you operate in an industry that trades in a tight band, and the offer is towards the top end of that band, and your counterparty understands that you are prepared to execute a targeted competitive auction in the case of “bad behavior,” a one-off offer can lead to a successful transaction.
We are pleased to be able to review unsolicited offers you have received, with the context of the latest market insights, to provide our advice regarding whether it is best to take the offer, or if the offer is materially worse than what your company, and you, deserve.
