For buyers and lenders

What leaves when the seller leaves. The accounts can’t show what depends on the owner personally: the unusual quotes, the big customers’ calls, the licence, the decisions that wait for the owner. Those are the things that change the day after you buy.

The Buyer Handover Score looks at the business the way we look at our own clients’ businesses, on evidence. Every finding comes with a cost, a likely date and how sure we are. It takes two to three weeks, inside the time the seller has agreed to talk only to you.

The First-Year Handover puts us inside the business for twelve to eighteen months. We move what the seller knows into your people before the seller leaves, and prove it with a Three-Week Test on the seller.

A clear view of what happens when the owner leaves, scored on evidence, with the weakest area shown on its own. Where the work has been done, a Handover Certificate adds a signed record of the owner’s three weeks away.

We never work for the buyer and the seller in the same deal. We never take a fee that depends on a deal going through. And we don’t do the work your accountant, lawyer or valuator does. We work alongside them.
