The commission on arranging the sale is reasonable when one considers the benefit to the company and shareholders.

A company I was involved in paid 20% commission on a very big sale and it took one phone call!

West Link are clearly a legal company involved in bringing east and west companies together for the benefit of both companies and the intermediary.

I think you would be happier if the deal had fallen through.
