Home / Deals and property

Deals, set out the way a lender reads them.

We work for buyers, developers and private lenders. We build the model, the capital stack and the paper a credit team works through, with the base and downside cases already run.

The questions we answer

Will a lender fund this?
What happens to the deal in the downside?
How much equity does the deal really need?
Is the price right for the return?
What will the credit team ask first?

How we help.

We do the specialist numbers work that sits outside your accountant’s and lawyer’s scope, and we agree the scope and fee in writing before it starts. The charts follow the structure of work we have delivered. All names and figures are invented.

M&A and acquisitions

We act for either side of a deal. On a purchase, we bring the valuation evidence from comparable transactions, the acquisition financing model with covenants tested in the downside, and the paper for the investment committee or lender. On a sale, we prepare the buyer list and the timetable, set up and run the data room, and compare the bids, working alongside your lawyer and corporate adviser.

Development treasury

For developers with several projects: every deal and its funding in one view, with forward scenarios for returns, liquidity, refinancing and funding gaps, so the group can see its liquidity at every stage.

Bespoke specialist models

Some sectors run on their own economics. Aged care turns on occupancy, refundable accommodation deposits, care funding and staffing, and childcare, medical practices and hospitality each have drivers of their own. We build the model around those drivers, from your own data.

Fractional Consultant

Acquisition and integration support, and lender negotiations, a day or two a week.
