  • M&A Advisory Fees: Advisory fees will typically consist of:

    • A retainer fee paid upfront for services rendered during the process.

    • A success fee, which is a percentage of the deal value (or an agreed amount) payable upon the successful closing of the transaction.

  • Payment Terms: Invoices for consulting services are due 15 days after receipt, unless otherwise agreed. Retainer fees are non-refundable.

  • Late Payments: If payment is not made within the specified time, we reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

4. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information disclosed during the course of the engagement, including but not limited to financial data, business strategies, intellectual property, and client lists. This obligation will remain in effect for a period of 5 years after the conclusion of the engagement.

We shall not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of data.
