Questions
When do I pay the listing fee?
After you sign the listing agreement, within 7 days of our invoice. It covers 6 months of exclusive marketing and is credited against the success fee if you sell.
Is the listing fee refundable?
No. It covers the work to prepare and market your business. If you sell, it is deducted from the success fee in full.
What does “exclusive” mean?
For 6 months we are your only adviser and platform for the sale, so buyers see one consistent, confidential process. You can name any buyer you were already talking to before you signed, and they are excluded.
What if a buyer you introduced comes back later?
The success fee still applies to a deal with a buyer we introduced for 24 months after the agreement ends. This protects the work we have done and is standard for M&A advisers.
Why is there a minimum success fee?
Selling a company takes the same care whatever its size. The minimum of $15,000 keeps our full service available to smaller businesses on fair terms.
Which law applies?
Companies incorporated in the UK sign an English-law agreement in GBP. All other companies sign an agreement under Indian law in USD.
Do buyers pay anything?
No. Joining, browsing and signing NDAs are free.
