Strategic fit
Whether the business aligns with your objectives, capabilities, preferred ownership role and investment parameters.
Opportunity Review
Look beyond the seller's narrative.
Finding a business is only the beginning. We help buyers examine an acquisition opportunity through an independent commercial lens before they commit too much time, confidence or capital.
Review an opportunityEvery business tells a different story
The important details are often between the lines.
Information memoranda and seller presentations explain why a business is attractive. Our role is to help you test that picture: what supports it, what complicates it, what is missing and which assumptions deserve verification.
Commercial quality
Revenue durability, customer economics, competitive position, operating model, growth drivers and the reality behind reported performance.
Transition risk
Dependence on the owner, key people, relationships, systems and knowledge that may not transfer cleanly.
Questions & next steps
The matters to clarify, evidence to request and specialist work that should inform the next decision point.
Our approach
Commercial perspective, applied with discipline.
Frame the decision
We understand the opportunity, your objectives, the available material and the decision you are trying to make.
Review the evidence
We examine the information provided, look for inconsistencies and identify areas that need a clearer explanation.
Challenge assumptions
We pressure-test the commercial logic, consider potential blind spots and distinguish facts from propositions.
Set priorities
We summarise the most important issues, questions and next steps for you and your specialist advisers.
Scope noteOpportunity Review is commercial advisory. It does not replace legal, financial, tax, technical or other specialist due diligence, and it is not an audit or assurance engagement.
Who it is for
The right moment for an independent view.
01You have found a business and want to decide whether it merits deeper diligence and negotiation.
02You are new to acquisitions and need commercial context around unfamiliar information and process.
03You are an experienced buyer who values an independent challenge to internal conviction and assumptions.
Before you commit further
The risks are often in what you cannot yet see.
Share the opportunity, the information available and the decision you are trying to make. We will confirm whether the review is within our experience and how we may assist.
