Whilst MP Corporate Finance acted on behalf of the vendor shareholders during our acquisition of Oecon, we found them to be professional, efficient, hard-working throughout. Crucially they assisted the transaction process by offering their clients’ practical advice, which maximised the opportunity for the transaction to complete.
