Buying a business is exciting. It's also where things can go very wrong.
We give you the financial rigour to move fast, pay the right price, and avoid the traps that catch unprepared buyers.
“
We were moving fast on an acquisition that looked like a great opportunity. Momentum CFOs found a risk buried in the numbers that would have cost us significantly. Worth every penny.”

The numbers you're shown aren't always the numbers that matter.
Every seller presents their business in the best possible light. Adjusted EBITDA, normalised revenues, one-off costs: there are a hundred ways to make the numbers look better than the underlying reality. Without the right scrutiny, you can pay a premium for a business that doesn't deliver what it promised.
And it's not just the price. Deal structure, tax implications, integration complexity, key person risk; the things that determine whether an acquisition actually creates value are often buried in the detail.
We've been on both sides of these deals. We know where to look, what questions to ask, and how to structure a transaction that protects your interests.

End to end buy-side support
We act as your commercial CFO throughout the acquisition process, from initial assessment to final close. Our job is to make sure you pay the right price, on the right terms, for a business you fully understand.
Commercial and financial due diligence
We go behind the headline numbers to understand what's really there. Quality of earnings, working capital, customer concentration, key person risk, and anything else that affects what the business is actually worth.
Valuation
We build an independent view of value: one that gives you a credible position in negotiations and protects you from overpaying. We'll also help you understand what a realistic return looks like based on different scenarios.
Deal structuring
Price is one thing. Structure is another. We help you think through the deal mechanics: consideration, earnouts, warranties, deferred payments, to make sure the terms reflect the risk you're taking on.
Model build
We build the integrated financial model that underpins the deal, showing what the combined business looks like, what the returns profile is, and where the risks and opportunities sit.
Integration planning
Getting the deal done is only half the job. We help you think through the financial and operational integration so the value you're paying for actually materialises.
