Intermediary Fees

For an engagement consultation, performance review, and preparation for either a sale or an acquisition, Libey charges a non-refundable, non-rebatable fee generally between $7,000 and $25,000 paid in advance. By comparison, a typical investment bank retainer fee would be $75,000 and $200,000 or more depending on the size of the transaction. Libey, therefore, offers you a significant savings.

If a successful sale or acquisition occurs, Libey charges a flat success fee of 1.3% based on the total, all-inclusive transaction price. Typical investment bank success fees may often be two to three times more. Again, you benefit from significant savings by using an intermediary approach.

The industry-specific intermediary approach offers two distinct advantages, whether you are a buyer or a seller: 1) Libey’s deep, inside knowledge of the multichannel direct marketing industry; 2) Lower engagement and success fees than investment banking firms; you save money on fees and benefit from an inside specialist’s knowledge of the direct marketing world.
