§ 1.1Positioning
Armstrong Transaction Services sits in the industrials, services pocket of the UK mid-market CDD landscape. The firm does not publish a rate card; every mandate is priced in the engagement letter.
§ 1.2Fee band
Indicative band: £15k-£60k indicative. Read this as a cluster of disclosed mandates, not a quoted fee. Compare to fees for the wider bench.
§ 1.3Deal-size sweet spot
£5m-£100m EV. Outside this band the firm is either over-spec for the deal (lower) or competing with Big-4 deal advisory (upper).
§ 1.4When to shortlist
Shortlist where the sector mandate matches and the IC will accept boutique reliance. See big-4 vs boutique.
