Acquisition prep

The finance work that decides what your company sells for.

01

The 90 day data room

The exact folder structure buyers expect, and the finance artefacts that quietly kill deals when they are missing.

02

Quality of Earnings, in advance

Run a QoE on yourself before a buyer does. The normalisations, addbacks and revenue tests that hold up in diligence.

03

Working capital peg

How the peg is calculated, how it is negotiated, and how to avoid the six figure adjustment at completion.

04

Management presentation

A finance-led narrative that survives contact with a private equity analyst. Numbers, unit economics, and the growth story that they will actually believe.
