Clear-eyed financial analysis before you sign, for buyers, sellers, investors and businesses raising capital.
Transactions, acquisitions, investments, partner buy-ins, or an eventual exit, are decided on numbers, and the numbers a business presents about itself are not always the numbers a careful review would confirm. LeapWise provides financial due diligence, business valuation and M&A advisory support, working for buyers assessing a target, sellers preparing for a transaction, or businesses raising capital and needing a credible valuation.
Our work is designed to surface what actually matters to a deal: quality of earnings, working capital normalisation, hidden liabilities, and the assumptions behind a valuation, so decisions are made on evidence, not on the seller’s own narrative.
We agree the transaction context, key risk areas and specific questions the diligence or valuation needs to answer.
Quality of earnings, working capital, debt and off-balance-sheet items are reviewed against underlying records, not just management accounts.
Where required, valuation is performed using the methodology appropriate to the business and transaction, supported by clear assumptions.
Findings are reported clearly, with support available through negotiation on price and terms where relevant.
Yes, we support buyers conducting diligence on a target, and sellers preparing their business for sale, including sell-side readiness reviews.
The method depends on the business and purpose of the valuation, we select and explain the appropriate approach rather than applying one method universally.
This varies with the size and complexity of the target business and the scope agreed, and is confirmed once the engagement is scoped.
Yes, we can remain engaged through negotiation to help interpret findings and support your position on price and terms.
