Transaction Services

Secure the value of your deal — before it gets negotiated against you.

An acquisition or a disposal is won or lost on the quality of the financial information. We turn it into negotiating leverage: you move forward with a clear view of the real value drivers and risks, and you keep control of the deal from the first conversation to closing.

Before you commit

The questions you're asking

Does the price I'm about to pay reflect the target's real performance?

Where are the hidden risks that could reopen negotiations after closing?

Do my normalised EBITDA and net debt hold up under the buyer's scrutiny?

How do I lock the price mechanism — locked box, earn-out?

How do I present my company to maximise its value at sale?

Our role

How we create value for you

You negotiate on validated numbers

We isolate the target's real normalised EBITDA, net debt and working capital. You set your price on the company's actual performance, not on the way the seller frames it.

Buy-side due diligence

You sell with no loose ends

We anticipate the buyer's objections before they find them. Your file is solid and weak spots are addressed upfront: you protect your price and shorten the timeline.

VDD · Vendor assistance

Your price is genuinely locked in

We secure the mechanisms that determine what you actually collect at closing. You know exactly what you pay or receive, with no grey area for the other side to exploit.

Quality of Earnings · Locked Box

You stay in control of the tempo

An independent review of an existing VDD lets you move fast without being driven by the other party's pace. You decide with full knowledge, on your own timeline.
