An M&A firm won’t give you client references!
Satisfied clients are willing to share their successful experience of an M&A firm’s services.
The M&A firm’s model is built on making money from their upfront fee rather than from closing deals.
Paying a high upfront fee for a valuation won’t sell your company — aggressive marketing will.
Ask how many clients the firm takes on annually - and how many of those result in closed deals.
Merely signing up a large number of clients is not an indicator of how successful a firm is in creating choices for its clients and getting deals done.
Reputable firms have nothing to hide; especially
their record of success.
