Result:
- Concluded the owner’s initial price/seven-year buyout proposal did not result in a feasible acquisition or appear to cash flow
- Initiated additional discussions between the parties on modifications that may help make the purchase more mutually attractive
Value: Client quote – “It’s unfortunate, but a well thought through no is significantly better than an uninformed yes.”
