FAQs
Common questions, answered plainly
When should we involve an advisor in a transaction?
Before terms are agreed. Structure, price adjustments and tax outcomes are mostly decided early; an advisor brought in after the term sheet can document the deal but rarely improve it.
What does financial due diligence actually check?
Quality of earnings, working capital trends, debt and contingent liabilities, tax compliance status, related-party arrangements and the reliability of the numbers the price is based on. The output is a clear report of findings and their impact on the deal.
Do you support sellers as well as buyers?
Yes. Vendor-side work (cleaning up records, preparing a data room and resolving compliance gaps before buyers find them) usually pays for itself in smoother negotiations and fewer price reductions.
Can you help a family business restructure ownership?
Yes. We work on holding structures, succession-sensitive reorganisations and the tax and documentation work they require, coordinating with legal counsel where needed.
Do you prepare business valuations?
We prepare valuation analyses for transactions, family settlements and internal decision-making, and coordinate with registered valuers where a statutory valuation report is required.
