Documentation and financial modelling
We prepare the financial model, information memorandum or due diligence pack the transaction requires, built to the standards that professional counterparties will scrutinise.

We support the negotiation and due diligence process, respond to queries, manage financial disclosures and help ensure the transaction completes on the terms agreed.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
When should I start the corporate finance process?
For a business sale, we typically recommend engaging twelve to eighteen months before a planned transaction. This allows time to address any issues that could affect value or deal risk. For acquisitions, earlier is better we can help identify targets as well as assess specific opportunities.
Do you act as a broker or find buyers?
We are advisers rather than brokers. We prepare the financial materials, support the due diligence process and advise on structure and terms. We work alongside corporate finance brokers or solicitors who manage the transaction process itself, or we can recommend appropriate specialists.
What does financial due diligence involve?
Due diligence on a business you are acquiring involves examining historical financial performance, the quality of earnings, working capital dynamics, debt and contingent liabilities, and the key assumptions behind any forecasts. We produce a due diligence report that gives you a clear picture of what you are buying before the deal closes.
What size of transactions do you advise on?
We work on transactions from £500,000 to £15 million enterprise value, primarily in the owner managed business market in the south of England and London. Outside this range, we can refer you to appropriate specialists.
