Parties
“Selling a business is a complex exercise, for which a CEO is rarely prepared and which requires the support of seasoned professionals. The Oaklins team, the focal point of all our advisors, was able to support us throughout the process within the agreed schedule. I would like to thank Oaklins for their professionalism, thoroughness, availability and pedagogy.”
