| The publisher of a newly
launched title approached us having received an offer of £40K.
After thoroughly marketing the title we secured a sale at £215K.
Another seller had an existing offer of £150K. We succeeded in
securing a sale at £380K with more favourable terms and conditions.
In most cases we arrange sales to
firms and individuals that sellers have never even heard of let
alone thought of approaching.
