Confidential Call
Successful acquisitions are about more than just price and terms. They are about ensuring a strong organizational fit post-close. This is our primary objective during initial seller calls.
02
Letter of Intent
We don't like the concept of beating sellers up on price or negotiating down to the penny so the LOI process is normally very smooth.
