Malyon Lestrange Completion Review

Steve Lestrange
Director, Malyon Lestrange Limited

When considering appointing advisors to the proposed sale, what were your main considerations and concerns?
Reputation and professionalism, and that they only worked for vendors. They would not understand the business and market.

Wanted professionals to handle their “one and only shot”.
 
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 good. Nick Stone was always available.
 
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?
Yes.
 
Overall, were there any key areas where you feel your advisors particularly contributed to the transaction?
Very good negotiation skills. Ability to push as far as possible without upsetting the other party.
 
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?
