WHAT WE OFFER
Strategic Exit Readiness Analysis (SERA)
A deep-dive diagnostic using the PREPARE framework to assess true exit position.
We go beyond operations to a buyer-aligned, risk-adjusted view of the business, including equity story, diligence gaps and priority actions.
You get: a board-ready report with findings, risks, valuation view and a clear set of recommendations.
Strategic Exit Readingess Program (SERP)
Builds on SERA to translate strategy into execution.
This repositions the business to appeal to the most likely buyers and provides a 6–24 month roadmap with milestones, owners and measures.
You get: a practical blueprint that management can run with, supported by DLI where required.
Financial Due Diligence
(Sell-side & Pre-buy Side)
Pre-empt buyer diligence with focused risk analysis.
We clarify group structures, normalise earnings and design the data room and KPI pack buyers expect.
You get: fewer surprises, greater buyer confidence and a smoother path through diligence.
