Rigorous due diligence sits at the heart of effective transaction services. Whether acquiring, selling, refinancing, or restructuring a business, clients need independent, data‑driven insights to de‑risk transactions, uncover hidden liabilities, validate business performance and forecasts, and secure favourable terms under tight timelines.
BTG supports midmarket corporates, family-owned businesses, private equity investors, and lenders across the full deal lifecycle – from opportunity assessment and target evaluation to presale preparation, execution, and postcompletion integration. Our partner‑led teams combine financial, operational, and restructuring expertise with hands‑on negotiation support, across areas such as Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) clauses, completion mechanics, and tax structuring. This approach reflects evolving market conditions, industry-specific dynamics and anticipates negotiation challenges, while safeguarding value.
Across buy‑ and sell‑side engagements, we validate earnings quality and cash‑flow sustainability, model working capital, analyse balance sheet debt, and identify tax, regulatory, and operational exposures that can materially influence valuation and deal terms. For vendors, we optimise pre‑deal positioning, compile vendor due diligence, and accelerate exit timelines while minimising value leakage.
Our team also manages structuring, financing, and post‑deal requirements. BTG advises on SPA mechanisms - including price adjustments, completion accounts, and earn‑outs - to protect value and mitigate post-deal disputes. We develop robust business plans and forward-looking financial models to support capital raising, refinancing, and lender negotiations, and provide integration, operational handover, and dispute resolution support to secure intended value realisation.
Every transaction is unique and time‑sensitive. By combining sector‑specific insight, rigorous analysis, and senior‑led execution, we align stakeholders, resolve deal‑critical issues quickly, and deliver transactions that close securely – protecting and unlocking value at every stage.
Stay ahead with commentary on the latest sector trends, regulatory changes and market developments from our team of experts.
