Our Fees
OUR FEES
Clear fees from the outset
Our success fee is tiered and calculated on the enterprise value of the business plus any cash paid for at completion:
- 5% on the first £1,000,000
- An additional 2.5% on everything above £1,000,000
For example, on a £2,000,000 transaction the success fee is £50,000 on the first £1,000,000 plus £25,000 on the remaining £1,000,000, a total of £75,000.
The success fee is payable on completion.
