We can deal on your behalf with the banks to set up, for example Forward Exchange Contracts if you need assistance in this area. Just to touch on this for a moment. A forward exchange contract allows the seller to lock in the currenct exchange rate for a deal that my take several monthe to go through. This is very cost effective to achieve and ensures all the numbers in the deal add up when it is all done. Everyone stays happy etc.
