Feedback
“Michael…is an excellent corporate financier and project manager…I would have no hesitation in recommending him very highly.”
“The value you bring to management teams is invaluable – as not only may they have limited experience of such transactions, but also continued focus on trading is probably the ‘make or break’ aspect of any transaction. External advisers on IPOs can often be high level, without an appreciation of the detail that is required – so it helps being a middle man, to manage the bridge between the two.”
“Part of your role is as an insurance premium paid to ensure management can keep more focus on the business, which is required whether the deal completes or not.”
“Timing is key. And deal resourcing is key to timing. If you miss a date – a seller’s backstop, an ‘open’ equity market, a regulatory deadline – that could mean your deal is gone.”
“Good to have someone company-side speaking the same language as the advisers.”
“You get on with what’s necessary, with no interest in point scoring. You oil the wheels, rather than throw in grit!”
“Without you, our transaction would not have completed in the time available...and [since completion] I have missed your counsel.”
