Buying your next business at the right price

Buy-side advice for owners making acquisitions of $2m–$20m, from finding the target to completion

Why one adviser

What the business is worth to you

Valuation, funding and negotiation are often handled by different advisers. We bring them together

What a business can borrow shapes what you can afford to pay, so we work out the price and the funding at the same time.

We know how sale documents are written

We have prepared information memoranda for sellers, so we know where to look when reviewing one: normalisations, forecasts and what is left out.

The work

Four parts

Finding it

Brokered listings, private equity exits, corporate divestments and direct approaches, supported by our own deal data and screening models

Valuing it

Independent modelling and industry analysis, backed by proprietary market data

Funding it

How much debt the target can support, and which lenders have appetite for it

Closing it

Offer, due diligence, documentation review and completion, including renegotiation when diligence finds something

Where value is won

Beyond the headline price, value is found in the terms of the deal and in structuring it to mitigate the risks identified in diligence
