Transactions

We’re business transaction specialists and have helped clients buy and sell businesses in a wide range of industry sectors and price ranges, from $500,000 to $25 million.

We’re not afraid to ask the hard questions

Due diligence involves identifying and assessing risks associated with a prospective business purchase, in order to make an informed decision as to whether you will proceed with the transaction and, if so, on what terms.

We provide thorough, independent due diligence for business-buying clients, and assist sellers with vendor due diligence, which involves being prepared with likely information requirements prior to initiating a sale process.

If you don’t feel comfortable asking for sensitive information, engage an experienced advisor to do it for you – you need that information.

“Denny’s didn't have the information at hand, or formal reporting structures in place, so that made [due diligence] difficult and time-consuming, but James just pressed on. He was very polite and very professional in the way he gathered the information – he doesn’t come out with a big stick – but he just kept pressing on until the information was provided.”
