FAQ
M&A and due diligence, answered.
Both. We run buy-side financial due diligence for acquirers and investors, and sell-side (vendor) due diligence and readiness for owners preparing to sell — so each side goes into the deal with the numbers proven.
Quality of earnings, revenue and margin sustainability, working capital, net debt and debt-like items, the forecast and the key commercial risks — summarised in a red-flag report focused on what moves price or risk.
Quality of earnings adjusts reported EBITDA to a normalised, sustainable run-rate by stripping out one-offs and accounting distortions. It is the number a buyer actually applies a multiple to, so it usually drives the headline price.
A deal price typically bridges from enterprise value to equity value through a working-capital peg and net debt. We set and defend the peg and identify debt-like items, so value is not quietly lost at completion.
Yes. We provide the financial inputs to the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), prepare completion accounts and handle the post-close adjustment mechanics through to a clean close.
Most engagements run around two to four weeks depending on deal size and data availability, with expedited timelines possible for competitive processes.
