Transaction Advisory
Sell-side through the financing lens: we know how the buyer finances the purchase price — and build data room, model and equity story against the other side’s question catalogue. From preparation through signing and closing.

A structured sale process in six phases — typically around six months from kick-off to closing. And always through the financing lens: bankability on the buyer’s side directly affects the achievable price.
- Weeks 1–4PreparationData room, FAST model, info memo, equity story — built against the buyer’s bank’s question catalogue.
- Weeks 4–7ApproachLonglist, teaser, NDA, shortlist — discreet and targeted rather than broadly scattered.
- Weeks 7–11Indicative offersQ&A, management presentations, evaluation and comparison of offers.
- Weeks 11–18Due diligenceTechnical, legal, tax, financial — with tight Q&A discipline.
- Weeks 18–24SPA & signingPurchase price bridge, warranties, closing conditions — through to signature.
- ThenClosingConditions satisfied, payment, handover — and onwards into post-closing if you wish.
On the buy side the reverse applies: an acquirer needs early clarity on how much debt the target carries and what it really costs after the price bridge. We review the other side’s model and structure, size the acquisition financing and support the negotiation through to closing.
The common thread: whoever builds data room and model against the buyer’s bank later negotiates the price instead of the discounts — and the existing financing becomes negotiable value: assume, refinance or repay.
