Not sure yet? Start here.

Plenty of owners know something needs attention the structure, the succession question, the approach sitting in the inbox, the vague sense that the business should be readier than it is — without knowing which thread to pull first. Our Diagnostic process is built for exactly that.

How it works

WEEK 01 - WEEK 02

We look

Structured conversations with the owner (and, where appropriate, key stakeholders), a review of the essential documents including financials, structure, key contracts, any shareholder or succession arrangements and a first-principles look at the business through a transaction lens.

WEEK 03 - WEEK 04

We tell you what we found

A working session and a short written report covering the state of the structure, the value and risk drivers as an outsider sees them, the questions that need answers before any transaction or transition, and a prioritised plan including what to do now, what to do next, and what can genuinely wait.

A diagnostic, not a mandate.

A candid, principal-level view of where the business actually stands.

A prioritised roadmap you can action with us, with your existing advisers, or on your own.

Clarity on whether any of our other engagements being readiness, structure, succession, a sale process is actually warranted. Sometimes the honest answer is that none of them is yet, and the diagnostic is where the engagement ends. That answer costs you weeks, not a fully fledged mandate.

What happens after

Whatever the roadmap says. Some clients take the report and run; some engage us for a specific workstream; some move to a light ongoing advisory arrangement, with a principal available as questions arise. The diagnostic obliges you to none of it.

Fee

Fixed, agreed before we start, and disclosed at the first conversation.

Start with the Diagnostic.

The first conversation is confidential, without obligation, and usually the most valuable hour of the process.
