NCC International

M&A In the Internet Industry

What a buyer should know.

Buying a company is one of the fastest ways to grow, move into new markets or make a paradigm shift.

HOW NCC CAN HELP YOU GROW

* NCC represents companies for sale on an exclusive basis. Real sellers, realistic expectations, no confusion. NCC has a fee agreement with the seller.

* NCC provides the buyer with in depth information regarding ALL of our listings.

* All buyers are required to have a current NDA on file with NCC prior to receiving confidential information. Our NDA is effective for a minimum of two years, covers all of our exclusive listings. You access the market immediately.

... A SHORT OBSERVATION

• I was having breakfast with a knowledgeable attorney that represents buyers in the hosting industry. He commented that the problem with doing transactions was the due-diligence, stating it often took three months to obtain.

• My reaction was that NCC’s experience is closer to 30 days. We generally answer 80%+ of the due-diligence questions in our detailed presentations. We answer the questions up-front so the buyer does not have to go hunting,

• I want the buyer to make a knowledgeable informed decision to either move ahead or pass on a transaction in 5 minutes. Your time is valuable.
