Our services

Preparation-led sell-side and buyer-side advisory for events, media and information businesses.

Sell-side advisory

Preparation and sale readiness

We assess and strengthen the business before market engagement, addressing commercial, financial and operational readiness.

This includes:

  • Revenue quality and customer concentration
  • Financial clarity and quality of earnings
  • Operational scalability and risk
  • Management readiness and succession
  • Legal and structural considerations

The objective is simple: identify and address issues early so they do not reduce value or delay the process later.

Positioning and equity story

We define how the business is presented to buyers, focusing on:

  • Clear articulation of growth drivers
  • Credible and defensible narrative
  • Alignment between data, messaging and management

The outcome is a business that buyers understand quickly, believe in, and are willing to engage with seriously.

Transaction execution

We run disciplined processes designed to ensure the right buyers engage and the process remains controlled and efficient.

  • Buyer identification and targeting
  • Teaser, IM and management materials
  • Structured outreach and engagement
  • Offer management and negotiation
  • Coordination with legal, tax and accounting advisers

The focus is on maintaining control of timing, information and engagement throughout.

Due diligence and completion support

We manage the most critical phase of the transaction:

  • Pre-emptive diligence preparation
  • Q&A management and response shaping
  • Momentum and stakeholder management
  • Support and coaching through to completion

This ensures issues are addressed early, buyer concerns are managed effectively, and deals progress without unnecessary disruption.
