Oaklins was instrumental in facilitating this deal
Oaklins Cavendish, based in the UK, advised the founders and shareholders on their complete exit following nearly eight years of growing the company to be one of the country’s leading funeral plan providers, with an impressive customer-centric business model. Oaklins Cavendish ran a full auction process, obtaining several offers before driving value by utilizing this competitive tension to negotiate the optimum deal value and structure for the vendors.
