Deal Negotiation for Your Business

Have you had a direct buyer approach but you aren’t sure how to handle it? Avondale offers a deal negotiation and project management service that could help you.
  • Positioning your business and sale drivers in the right light 
  • Financial analysis
  • Valuation

We understand that when it comes to selling your company, you want the right negotiation advice, rewards, and home for your business.

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. Using our deal negotiation service means you have one of our highly experienced M&A consultants leading the negotiations on your behalf and managing all the associated elements, such as:

  • 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.
  • Full project management to ensure a timely completion – thereby saving you time and money.
