Deal Support
Deal support for advisors, sponsors and deal teams.
Financial models, valuations, teasers, CIMs and buyer lists, built by senior people for M&A advisors, independent sponsors and investment teams in the US and Europe. Fixed scope, partner-led.
Who It's For
Who we work with.
- Boutique M&A advisors with more live mandates than analysts
- Independent sponsors and search funds evaluating, financing or presenting an acquisition
- Private equity and family office deal teams that need extra capacity on a live process
- Owners and CFOs preparing a sale or a capital raise without a full deal team
Deliverables
What we build.
Financial models
Operating models, transaction and returns models, and merger models, with scenarios and sensitivities. Built to stand up to a buyer's or investor's diligence.
Valuation
Discounted cash flow, trading comparables and precedent transactions, reconciled into a range with the reasoning written down.
Teasers and CIMs
Positioning, investment highlights, market, operations and financials, written for the buyers you are targeting. In your template if you have one.
Buyer and investor lists
Strategic and financial buyers, family offices and funds, with a reason for every name, including investors and acquirers in the Gulf.
Process support
Data room set-up and index, Q&A tracking, management presentation preparation and bid comparison.
Diligence support
Data request lists, analysis of management accounts, reconciliations and the issues a buyer is likely to raise.
Why Us
Why teams bring us in.
Senior people, start to finish
The people who scope the work do the work. No hand-off to a junior team you have not met.
Your working hours
We overlap with US mornings and the full European working day.
Cross-border reach
Mandates across the GCC, the Levant, Africa and the US, and working knowledge of Gulf buyers and investors your client may not reach.
Process
How an engagement runs.
- 01 A confidential call about the deal and what you need.
- 02 A written scope and fee proposal, with the delivery date agreed up front.
- 03 Drafts at agreed checkpoints, so you can steer the work.
- 04 Editable Excel, PowerPoint and Word files, with every assumption documented.
We sign an NDA before you share anything.
