How an acquisition runs

Nine stages, and you follow all of them

Every stage carries a document, a date and a name. Nothing moves forward because somebody says it has.

  1. 01

    Requirement definition

    Mission profile, runway constraints, range with real payload, budget including the first two years of ownership.

  2. 02

    Market search

    Every candidate, advertised or not, with our valuation beside each asking price.

  3. 03

    Shortlist

    Three to five ranked aircraft, with the reason each one is on the list and the finding that would take it off.

  4. 04

    Letter of intent

    Price, deposit, inspection scope and walk-away conditions agreed before anybody travels.

  5. 05

    Pre-purchase inspection

    At a facility with no commercial relationship to the seller. Discrepancy list priced, then negotiated.

  6. 06

    Escrow

    Funds and title with an independent escrow agent. We never touch client money.

  7. 07

    Closing

    Bill of sale, deregistration, registration, lien search and release, insurance bound.

  8. 08

    Delivery

    Ferry flight, import, VAT position, crew familiarisation, handover of the operating manual.

  9. 09

    First year

    Maintenance plan, budget against actuals, valuation refreshed at twelve months.
