Pre-Sale Review Service
For those thinking ahead, we also offer a fixed fee pre-sale review service. This comprehensive review examines both the legal and financial aspects of your company, identifying keys areas that may results in problems or may be a cause for concern for a potential buyer and possibly lead to a call for a price reduction. This service is beneficial as it allows you to address and resolve any issues that have been highlighted, getting your house in order in good time and before any negotiations begin.
As part of the review we will also talk you through the sale process and various exit strategies that are available to you.
