| Confidentiality
Long-term client relationships must be established based on mutual trust and respect. Sound working relations with employees, customers, suppliers and bankers are an important part of the effective functioning of any company. Any premature indication of a potential change of ownership could disrupt these relations and weaken the company’s competitive position. Thus confidentiality is critically important at all stages of a business relationship. To minimize the unauthorized dissemination of confidential information and financial data, the C&H Group requires clients to sign a legally binding Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA), which prohibits disclosure of the information to anyone outside of its organization. In every transaction there is an appropriate time to reveal that a change of ownership may be pending. Proper timing of these sensitive announcements contributes to a smooth transaction and reinforces the willingness of the parties to proceed to closing. |
