Consultation- the most important element of committing to purchase is to agree and
formalise what your criteria for purchase are. We highly recommend a well thought
out written document that will prevent you from making poor instinctive decisions
further down the line as and when opportunities present themselves. We can help you
draw up a precise list of your acquisition objectives. Principle Partners can also
help with MBO's and MBI's. Please talk with us at an early stage.
FundingReviews and Business Planning- if you don't already have funding in place
we can put you in touch with our associates who can talk with you about the funding
alternatives available to you. We can also help with financial modelling and forecasting
so that you can present the potential lenders with a more accurate idea of the funding
you will need and future illustrations and forecasts.
Marketing activity-now that we are clear on your objectives we will start to contact
target businesses via the telephone, direct mail and email that meet your criteria
(annonymously at this stage). We have an extensive list of print businesses that
have already expressed an interest in selling their business in the past. If there
is a match between these businesses and your objectives then obviously we will make
an approach.
Confidentiality and Approach-we will protect your confidentiality in these initial
stages until we have assessed vendor interest and the viability of the purchase.
It is also important that we have some indicative financial support in place so that
we can reassure the vendor that you can deliver on any subsequent offer.
Closing the deal and Post deal-we will be around to oversee the conclusion of the
acquisition agreement and any issues such as deferred considerations that still need
to be managed after completion.

Offer Management and Heads of Terms- we can document the agreed terms so that the
offer is clear for both parties and that there is a clear timeframe in place to complete
the deal. We can also make arrangements for Due Diligence to be undertaken and will
manage all the parties through to completion.
