“I am delighted to say that the Business Sale process ran smoothly and efficiently. Our Buyer actually complimented us on our DD readiness and the ease of the transaction. I am very aware that this transaction would not have been possible without the significant groundwork and system development put in place by Peter & his team. The deal was signed in July 2015.
