Get your company in shape before you raise or sell

The best deals are prepared 12 to 24 months ahead. Our strategic advisory work is about investment readiness: business plan, KPIs, governance, financial structuring. We get your company in working order for the deal to come.

What we structure with you

An investor or a buyer is buying your trajectory as much as your present. We make that trajectory easy to read and back it with numbers.

Business plan and financial model

A business plan that stands up in due diligence: documented assumptions, scenarios, cash-flow plan. You should be able to run the company with it, which a spreadsheet built on conviction never allows.

KPIs and reporting

We define the indicators that matter for your model (financial and impact) and set up the reporting investors expect. Measuring your impact is also how you get it valued.

Governance and structuring

Shareholders' agreement, governance bodies, capital structure (holding company, PropCo/OpCo for property assets): we prepare the architecture that will make the deal easier, working with your legal and tax advisers.

Roadmap to the deal

An honest diagnosis of where you stand, a 12 to 24 month action plan, milestones. The aim: reach the market at the right time, with a file that has no blind spots.

Who it is for

Before a fundraising

You are aiming for a round of more than €2m in 12 to 24 months: we identify what your file is missing and build it, metric by metric.

Before a sale

You are thinking about selling or handing over: we reduce the company's dependence on you, make the numbers reliable and get the business ready for due diligence.

While you grow

You are growing fast and the structure is struggling to keep up: we bring financial management and governance back in line with your ambitions.

Frequently asked questions

When should you start preparing?

12 to 24 months before the deal you have in mind. That is how long it takes to set up credible reporting, show a trajectory and fix the weak points that due diligence would uncover.

Is this only for impact companies?

It is our speciality and our conviction. We work with companies whose social or environmental impact is built into the business model rather than the marketing.

How does it fit with a fundraising or sale mandate?

The structuring work shortens the execution mandate that follows and lowers its risk. And if a deal turns out not to be the right option, we tell you so frankly.

Shall we talk?

A first 30-minute call, confidential and with no strings attached. We look at your situation and tell you frankly what we think.
