|
When considering appointing advisors to the proposed sale, what were your main considerations and concerns?
|
|
That we liked the people we were dealing with and that they made an impressive presentation. We were concerned that, as our deal value was not terribly high, we would be a low priority.
|
| What were the determining points in deciding to appoint advisors? |
| We felt comfortable with Alaris and felt that would be a good job. |
| Do you feel that Alaris was able to give access to different types of purchaser? |
| Yes |
| Overall, what was the level of responsiveness from your advisors? |
|
Very responsive – always there when we needed them.
|
| Do you feel that negotiations were managed to your satisfaction? |
| Yes |
|
After the Heads of Agreement stage of the transaction was reached, do you feel that the advisors continued to contribute to the sale process?
|
|
Alaris were very helpful at this stage even though the lawyers were handling most of the work. We feel that Alaris would have been willing to get even more involved if we had asked. Alaris were there to intervene where necessary and kept a keen eye on our interests throughout.
|
|
Overall, were there any key areas where you feel your advisors particularly contributed to the transaction?
|
|
Alaris were particularly helpful in making sure our limitations on warranties were as little as possible. We did not appreciate the importance of this at the outset and are very grateful to Alaris for their contribution in this area.
|
| In retrospect, would you use advisors again to assist in the sale of a business? |
| Yes |
| Would you consider recommending us to other business owners considering a sale of their business? |
| Yes |
| Are there any additional points that you would like to make regarding your experience of working with us? |
|
We are delighted with the result and really enjoyed working with Alaris
