Thoroughness

We believe that the quality of advice is only as good as the amount of thought and effort that has gone into it. Therefore we apply our guiding principle of thoroughness to every service we provide. We believe that there has been a move in the sector to do less and less work for the same fees. At PCF we believe that if more can be done then it should be done. If we can have an extra meeting to prepare a client then we should do it. If we can run another scenario or debt covenant simulation or a financial model then we should do it. It adds to the value we give our clients, gives them a better service, a better deal and ultimately results in us having a better chance of getting our fee.

Our sector analysis for deals utilises “state of the art” research tools, backed up by a dedicated research team. This team is drawn from existing corporate finance businesses with no “on the job learning” at the client's expense. In addition to this research, we have a team who will computer model forecasts for MBO/MBI transactions for clients and therefore control the process.
