Running a sale can be costly in terms of the time required from internal management, and often, shareholders do not have the time or expertise to manage a successful transaction – especially when they are pitched against sophisticated corporate or investment buyers. Conducting a successful negotiation requires experience to maximise the terms, phase the flow of information, and coordinate all parties. This is where Avondale can help.

- Detailed calculations of working capital requirements, the flow of funds, and a cash-free-debt-free assessment.
- Providing increased leverage to discussions – we are a sell-side advisor who can go to the open market, if necessary.
- Structuring your deal in the best way for you and pre-empting and avoiding buyer price adjustments.
- Assisting and coordinating the appointment of highly qualified legal advisors.
- Creating a backstop if your negotiations are unsuccessful.
- Managing a deal data room to facilitate buyer due diligence, creating transparency to expedite the process.
