You see the work in real time: stage status, completed documents, who received the asset and what they replied.
The comparison table appears once indicative offers have been collected — stage 7.
Stage 7 begins after teaser distribution and NDA signing. Expected timing: day 45 from the start of work.
| Parameter | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Price and structure | How much and in what form: cash at completion, in instalments, deferred |
| What is being bought | Shares, assets, in whole or in part |
| Source of funds | Own resources or debt — this drives the timetable |
| Conditions | What has to happen before completion |
| Validity | How long the offer stands |
The choice is best made on the whole set of terms: an offer with a lower figure and cash at completion often beats a larger number carrying instalments and conditions.
