What's included

The full scope, in plain English.

The complete list of what we can deliver under this line. Every item is a real service — tell us which you need.

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

Frequently asked questions

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.
What size of deal do you cover? +
Our sweet spot is founder-led and mid-market transactions — deals large enough to need real diligence, without Big 4 fee structures.

Big 4 quality is closer
than you think.
