How buying a business works

We review the target’s monthly trading, customer mix, cash conversion, borrowing and working capital. We record the evidence behind important findings and maintain a list of open questions. These findings help a buyer judge whether the assumptions in the offer remain credible.

A practical example

A target can show a full order book and still need more funding immediately after completion. We look at supplier deposits, invoice timing and stock requirements alongside the purchase price to estimate the total commitment.

When should financial review begin?

An initial review can start when summary figures become available. A deeper assessment depends on access to the target’s records and the timetable agreed by the parties.
