Is the deal as good as it looks?
A clean set of books tells you a deal can close. It does not tell you it will work. Answer nine quick questions and get an instant read on where the real risk hides, and where a spreadsheet will not save you. Strictly confidential.
Buying is harder than selling.
Most first-time acquirers spend all their energy getting to a signed LOI, then discover the real work starts after. Diligence tells you what you are buying. Integration decides whether it was worth it. The Deal Risk Check gives you a fast read on both, so you walk into the deal knowing where it could hurt you.
What you’ll get.
Nine questions, about three minutes, and an instant read. No call required.
Your read
A risk and readiness score
How ready you are for this deal, scored across the four things that decide whether an acquisition actually works: your thesis, how well you know the deal, whether you can run it and your plan for after close.
Your biggest gap
The one thing most likely to hurt you
Named plainly, with why it matters for a buyer like you. The risks that sink acquisitions are operational, and they do not show up in the financials.
Your next step
What to shore up before you sign
The specific thing to fix first, and how we help you get there. Tailored to whether you are a first-time buyer, an operator or doing a bolt-on.
Where deals lose value
The number a spreadsheet cannot give you is whether it will actually work.
Most of these risks do not show up in the financials. They show up after close, in the integration, which is exactly the part most buyers have no plan for. It is also the part we know best. Our founder has integrated twelve acquisitions, the most recent five a buy-and-build for a single acquirer over three years.
