Independent checks on the business you're about to back, and on the one you've already backed.
Most private investment here happens on a relationship and a pitch. You back someone you know, in a sector you understand, on numbers nobody independent has ever looked at.
Then you are in, and the only account of how your money is doing comes from the person spending it. That is not a reason to distrust anyone. It is a reason to have your own reading.
An independent read of the accounts, tax position, obligations and contracts before you commit.
What the stake is actually worth, for entry, follow-on, or a negotiated exit.
Targeted checks (confirm the cash, confirm the debtors, test the payroll) at a fraction of a full audit.
A quarterly pack from the investee in a form you can compare period to period.
Statutory audit for the companies you have backed.
When the numbers stop reconciling, or a relationship goes wrong.
You do not need a full audit to get an answer. Tell us what you actually want to know.
We tell you what it costs and how long before we start.
Independent of the founder or management. Our opinion goes to the person who engaged us.
A short independent review costs less than one bad month of a bad investment.
