Our lawful basis for processing

We process personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so, including:

Contract or pre-contract discussions — where we are discussing a possible transaction, agreement, NDA, business sale, succession plan or acquisition structure.

Legal obligation — where we are required to keep records or comply with legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or compliance obligations.

Consent — where you have specifically agreed to receive certain communications from us, where consent is required.

Confidentiality

We understand that confidentiality is extremely important when a business owner is considering a sale, succession plan or staged exit.

We treat all enquiries and discussions as confidential. We will not intentionally disclose your enquiry to your staff, customers, suppliers, competitors or other third parties without your permission, unless we are legally required to do so.

Where appropriate, we are happy to enter into a non-disclosure agreement before reviewing sensitive business information.

We will only share information where it is necessary, appropriate and connected to your enquiry, a potential transaction, our business operations, or legal/professional requirements.

How long we keep information

We will keep your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary.

If your enquiry does not progress, we may retain basic enquiry and communication records for a reasonable period in case of follow-up, legal, accounting or administrative need.

If discussions progress into a transaction, we may keep relevant records for longer to meet legal, tax, accounting and contractual obligations.
