Full scope

What's included.

The complete deal advisory scope — all of it available to United Kingdom clients.

Buy-side due diligence

A structured look at the numbers behind an acquisition — quality of earnings, working capital, debt-like items — so you know what you are really buying.

Sell-side / vendor due diligence

Your own numbers stress-tested before buyers see them, so diligence strengthens your price instead of eroding it.

Business valuations

Defensible valuations for transactions, disputes, buy-outs and reporting — DCF, multiples and asset-based, with assumptions you can defend.

Quality of earnings (QoE)

Normalised, sustainable EBITDA established line by line — the number every deal negotiation actually turns on.

Financial modelling

Three-statement models, deal models and scenario cases built to be interrogated, not just presented.

Data-room preparation & exit readiness

The financial data room assembled and sanity-checked before buyers arrive — plus the clean-up list that makes you saleable.

SPA & completion support

Completion accounts, working-capital adjustments and price mechanisms — where diligence findings turn into money.

Capital-raising support

The model, the numbers in the deck, and the diligence file — investor-ready before investors start asking.

Feasibility studies & business plans

Bankable feasibility studies and business plans for new ventures, expansions and financing applications.

Post-deal integration

Getting the acquired company's books, reporting and controls onto your standards in the first hundred days.

Restructuring & turnaround support

Thirteen-week cash flows, options analysis and stakeholder reporting when a business needs to change course fast.

Questions

Deal Advisory in United Kingdom — FAQs

How does Deal Advisory work for a UK company specifically? +

UK mid-market deals lean heavily on completion accounts and locked-box mechanics — we handle either. We deliver it fully remotely, reporting under IFRS or FRS 102 (UK GAAP) and coordinating with HMRC and Companies House where the work touches them.

How fast can you turn a diligence sprint around? +

It depends on data quality and scope, but the plan is always built backwards from your deal date — we tell you on the scoping call whether the deadline is achievable.

Do you work alongside our lawyers? +

Yes — financial diligence findings feed directly into the SPA workstream (price adjustments, warranties, indemnities), so we coordinate with legal counsel as standard.

Can you value a business we're thinking of selling? +

Yes. Sell-side work usually starts with a valuation and readiness review so you know the likely range — and the weak points a buyer will find — before going to market.

Is everything confidential? +

Deal work is NDA-backed by default, and much of it can never be publicly referenced. That is normal for this line of work.
