Deal Advisory
From thesis to signed deal: target screening, valuation support, structuring and negotiation, on the buy side or the sell side.
What it is
The Work Between Wanting a Deal and Signing One
Buying: we screen targets against your thesis, pressure-test the valuation against what operations actually support, and stay at the table through structuring and negotiation. Selling: we get the business ready, build the equity story on evidence, and run the process alongside your bankers and lawyers.
We are not brokers and take no success fee, so our advice has no side.
What you get
- A target long-list and short-list scored against your thesis
- Valuation pressure-tested against what operations support
- Deal structure options with the risks priced in
- Negotiation support through to signing
- Sell side: readiness review and an evidence-based equity story
