"Dow Schofield Watts' transaction services report and overall approach were refreshingly candid. They assisted us on a range of issues from cash flow generation and bank reconciliations at the start of the transaction, to the completion accounts mechanism at the end. They were always close to the detail and communicated any issues to us in real time so that we were able to make decisions accordingly. Their assistance on this investment was invaluable".

“The debt advisory team at Dow Schofield Watts led us through what was widely reported to be a tough process with deft and confidence and – importantly – to a successful and expedient outcome. Their pace and commitment to get to grips with several complex moving parts, and their clear experience which was demonstrable in their assured navigation of the process and strategic counsel on the approach.

“Selling a business you have built from scratch is hard on both an emotional and practical level and you will absolutely need high quality expert advisors to guide you through the process. Roger and his team at Dow Schofield Watts were simply brilliant throughout the deal process and there is no question in my mind that I would not have got to the business valuation achieved and structure of deal that I wanted without the careful guidance of DSW. I would recommend them without reservation”.

"Throughout the engagement, Dow Schofield Watts' transaction services team worked seamlessly with the nZero team to produce high-quality, insight-driven outputs. Their ability to navigate the complexity of the business and distil key financial and operational drivers was particularly impressive. The work provided clear, credible responses to anticipated buyer queries, significantly enhancing the quality of information presented and contributing to a smoother diligence process. We believe their input drove real value for the shareholders and reduced the time required for due diligence by the eventual acquiror, all while minimising disruption to the business. We would not hesitate to recommend the DSW team for future transactions".
