Sale to private equity
Client Profile: Founder-led business receiving an unexpected offer from a PE firm.
Challenge: The owners weren’t planning to sell and had gaps in procedures and paperwork. Due diligence support was limited, and a pushy broker threatened to rush the process.
Solution: AY Business Law filled the legal gaps and reassured the buyer that these didn’t compromise value. Aly helped the client hold firm against broker pressure, ensuring the sale progressed on their terms. Nigel supported due diligence, acting as an extension of the team.
Outcome: Despite a challenging earn-out period, both Aly and Nigel remained consistently available, offering strategic guidance without the stress of clock-watching fees.
Client Comment: “Nothing was too much trouble. Aly and Nigel were always there—even when things got tough.”
