Business development and market analysis

It’s tempting to think that we can do everything ourselves with the skills we have within our business. However, we have grown to realise how beneficial it can be to work with specialist consultants. Over the past year, in the area of acquisitions and disposals we have been delighted with the valuable insight and expertise demonstrated by Piers Russell-Cobb of MediaFund. His knowledge of the industry and an ability to negotiate a deal to a swift completion has played a fundamental part in the re-focussing of our business.”

My experience of working with Mediafund was excellent. Piers was very good throughout the complete process of the sale of our business. It was important to us to use an agent with a strong reputation and industry contacts and Piers has both of these. His management of the deal from negotiation through to due diligence and close was superb and he played a very supportive role for us personally offering good counsel and being available at all times to address and resolve all potential issues. I would have no hesitation recommending Piers and Mediafund.”

Research Media Ltd

The skill set for running a business is by no means the same as the one needed for selling a business. Piers and colleagues at Mediafund have that skill set. Together they found the interested parties; collated financial information for those prospective buyers; led them through early-stage negotiation until a preferred buyer was identified; and supervised the due diligence process and then the closing of the sale. Piers was also able to provide legal and HR contacts experienced in business transfer: altogether a formidable team was working for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mediafund.”
