Approach

A second set of hands before the process begins

Most companies only run a sale process once. We've sat on this side of the table before — so the questions a buyer will ask are the ones we ask first.

A strategic transaction is won or lost in the preparation. Long before a term sheet is on the table, buyers are forming a view — from the clarity of the numbers, the coherence of the growth story, and how quickly management can answer hard questions. That preparation is where we spend most of our time.

We don't run a large deal team or a standard playbook. Each engagement is built around the company in front of us: its stage, its sector, and the specific investors or acquirers most likely to see its value. We stay close through the process — not just at the start of it.

Services

Three ways we help

Engagements are typically structured as a consulting retainer, a success-based introduction fee, or a combination of both — agreed before any work begins.

01

Sale-readiness consulting

We work with your team ahead of a process — building the narrative, organizing the data room, and pressure-testing the numbers so nothing slows a buyer down once conversations start.

  • Positioning and equity story
  • Materials investors expect to see
  • Anticipating diligence questions early

02

Sell-side support

Once you're ready, we make targeted introductions to institutional investors, strategic acquirers, and private capital — and stay involved through diligence and negotiation.

  • Curated, relevant investor & acquirer lists
  • Warm introductions, not mass outreach
  • Support through diligence and negotiation

03

Buy-side support

When you're the one doing the buying, we help identify and screen targets that fit your strategy, then support the evaluation so you walk into diligence with a clear view.

  • Target identification and screening
  • Preliminary evaluation and red flags
  • Diligence coordination and negotiation support

Process

How an engagement typically runs

01 — Discovery

Fit & scope

We learn the business, the goal, and the timeline, and agree what a good outcome looks like before anything is signed.

02 — Readiness

Get the story straight

We build the narrative and materials, and work through the questions a buyer or investor will ask.

03 — Introductions

Targeted outreach

We approach a shortlist of relevant institutional investors and strategic acquirers — quality over volume.

04 — Through to close

Stay involved

We remain a resource through diligence and negotiation, alongside your legal and financial advisors.
