Common questions
What is the difference between an M&A intermediary and an FA?
An intermediary may contract with both seller and buyer to support agreement, while an FA typically advises one client. The contracting party, source of compensation, conflicts, and actual scope should be confirmed before engagement.
Are fees success-only?
Consultation, retainers, interim fees, success fees, valuation, DD, and agreement fees vary by matter. Calculation bases, minimums, and specialist fees should be stated separately in writing.
What should be prepared first?
Start with recent accounts and tax filings, management accounts, a business profile, ownership and directors, material agreements, employees, assets and liabilities, and licenses. You do not need every document for an initial discussion.
Who conducts DD?
The scope determines the team: CPA, tax accountant, attorney, labor professional, and others. Process coordination by an intermediary should remain distinct from independent specialist investigation and judgment.
