A+A Security Systems
We were recommended to John in Merc Consulting when we decided to sell our Company.
Our business was well known and the entire approach to selling had to be confidential.
Roger, John & their team went to work and diligently reviewed our financials and provided a realistic business evaluation. They structured a sales presentation to reach the most relevant audience possible.
Building this business was my life work, and after 30 years it was important to us to transition it on to new owners in the right fashion. Merc were diligent in filtering through the enquiries, providing a shortlist of potential buyers and presenting our business proposal. They were in our corner during all stages of negotiations, being proactive to make sure the transaction stayed on track. We were very satisfied when a Contract was signed.
There were many stages in the sale process, all of which were supervised by Merc, providing invaluable experience, wisdom and oversight to get the job done.
Roger & John kept all the stress and frustration away and are a pleasure to work with.
I would certainly recommend them.

We were recommended to Merc Consulting when we decided to sell our business.
John, Roger and the team were diligent in sifting through the enquiries, and identifying a shortlist of potential buyers for us. They were in our corner during all stages of negotiation, and we were very satisfied when an agreement was signed.
There were many stages in the purchase process, all of which were supervised by Merc, and without which we would have been overwhelmed, as its not a task for the layman.

We engaged Roger and Merc Consulting to broker the successful sale of our company, Wilson Security, in 2021. From the outset Roger was professional and brought the depth of his experience in business and the industry into the process.

Mark Wilson, Director
MC Alarms
Following on from the completion of the sale of my business MC Alarms to Network Security, I have no hesitation in recommending Roger O’ Shea of Merc Consulting who brokered the sale on my behalf.
I engaged Roger in advance of the proposed sale and he has guided me through the process which is lengthy and complicated, from start to finish.
Merc Consulting analysed my business and prepared an Information Memorandum, engaged the market and drew up a shortlist of interested parties and engaged with them until we settled on a heads of agreement with Network. Following that Merc Consulting have attended all meetings, managed the process and introduced outside Financial and HR advisors that were required to complete the sale.
Roger and his team handled all the negotiations with all parties to the deal, which left me free of any pressure and enabled me to have time to consider all the implications of this major life changing decision.
