Competitor Comparison and Vendor Panel
So, you are thinking of selling but you don’t know who to use to deliver the maximum result. Like any market there is a myriad of choice and service options. We know that Avondale is the right choice but how do you?
Below is a comparison between us and our main competitors which might help you make your mind up. Ask yourself do you know what it is your adviser will do?
Competitor Analysis
|
What Avondale Deliver |
What Our Competitors Offer |
Analysis |
|
Maximum Result via process and added value
|
Maximum Result via process
|
We assist clients in grooming their companies to ‘add value’ proven in enhancing value. Our main competitors do not offer this service. |
|
Realistic initial fees depending on project, then good success fee |
High initial fees over a period, low success fee |
Does your adviser have incentive to deliver the project, or do they make more money running the process? |
|
Process and Bespoke |
Mailing process
|
Ensuring a process is followed can help generate the maximum result. Certainly aiming at a competitive environment is essential. But every business is unique and therefore to us every project is bespoke and can be tailored to best suit the market.
|
|
Continuous |
Time process (1 year) |
Our fastest sale was achieved in six weeks. Yes this was exceptional but we don’t have to follow a process to deliver a high price, and better still we keep going until we have delivered a result.
|
|
Research & Marketing |
Research (trade only)
|
Vital to ensure all avenues are pursued. What if the trade deal is not right? With over 2500 purchasers visiting our website every week and significant corporate finance and investment contacts, both the trade, entrepreneur and financial buyer are explored and no stone is left unturned. www.avondale.co.uk. Nearly 30% of Avondale’s transactions come from our web buyers.

|
Valuation forecast
|
No Valuation |
Both adviser and client should aim at the highest aspirational price. This is not an excuse to avoid a valuation. Some competitors just agree with the client without offering an opinion.
Forecasts should be calculated to help you with your financial planning when undertaking a sale project. We aim to beat our valuation but at least we give one.
|
|
Just transactional- Cross spectrum of deals
|
Big Deals and ancillary services
|
We make a Big Deal of your deal whatever side you are and as we only do transactions we have to deliver. |
|
Leadership approach |
Front-man pitch |
We work in teams, but you get one project leader who you see from the start who is accountable to your sale, available pretty much, seven days a week. We don’t put in a front man just to win your business, and we are accountable to you.

Why take our word for it?
We don’t expect you to, after all we are perhaps biased, but the many vendors we have successfully acted for after they have experienced some of our competitor’s service can’t be wrong.
We have even listed their details so you can ask them. Even if you have already made the choice that Avondale is right, they may be able to share their experience of what life is like after the deal. A vital consideration to ensure not only do you achieve a sale at maximum result but what happens next is also thought about.
