In our view, there are two key issues to overcome in any investment or acquisition, namely;
Price – We see no point in spending hours of time discussing future plans, when clearly your price expectation is significantly different to ours.
Our approach is that after signing mutual NDA’s and exchanging high level information, we should agree on the price parameters. We look to investment through equity purchase or loan notes based on agreed performance levels or the achievement of preset milestones.We have considerable flexibility in structuring any deal.
Trust – To move forward in any business there must be trust and understanding and we place considerable importance on building and establishing a strong relationship. Future plans rarely run smoothly, so a bond needs to be mutually built that can withstand future challenges.
