What we do
Each assignment begins with a comprehensive analysis of the target’s historical financial performance to ensure that the figures presented accurately reflect the business’s true position. We assess the quality of earnings to determine whether profits are sustainable, making necessary adjustments for any anomalies that could distort value.
Working capital is another critical focus, as it directly impacts the cash position at completion. We evaluate whether the business holds sufficient working capital to operate smoothly post-transaction or whether adjustments are required during negotiations.
Our team also conducts an in-depth review of the balance sheet to identify any hidden liabilities, overstated assets, or other issues that could affect the deal.
We go beyond historical performance by scrutinising forecasts to ensure they align with commercial realities. This forward-looking approach helps both buyers and sellers in Manchester, the North West, nationally and internationally make informed decisions based on realistic expectations.
In addition, we identify potential risks and opportunities that may influence value, deal structure, or integration plans.
Every report is customised to suit the size, complexity, and specific needs of the transaction. We avoid generic templates and unnecessary jargon, providing clear, concise, and commercially relevant insights that equip our clients with the confidence to move forward.
