Structured buy-side support across the deal.
Throughout the acquisition, we focus on the few things that decide the outcome, so your time and capital go where they matter.
Pre-LOI
Is this deal worth pursuing, and what should shape the LOI?
Three levels of pre-LOI work, from a fast first read to a full offer structure. You use only what the deal calls for.
Deal Screen — the fast first read.
When materials are thin, a fast read on whether to advance, what the deal rests on, and the efficient tests to confirm or kill it.
Deal Readiness — the deep diagnostic.
When materials are complete, a scored read of whether the deal is ready for an LOI.
LOI Structuring — the offer.
Converts the earnings basis into a defensible offer range, capital stack, and DSCR check.
Post-LOI
Do the findings still support the deal?
The expensive mistake is diligencing everything evenly while the one issue that could reprice or kill the deal stays buried. SHP ranks where the risk sits, then goes deep only where it matters.
Post-LOI Risk Screen — where your capital is at risk.
Ranks the full diligence universe by where risk concentrates, so your time, money, and advisors go to the few issues that could change the outcome.
Deep-Dives, Briefs & Synthesis — depth where the screen points.
SHP goes deep on the areas that fit our expertise. For the areas that need a specialist, we write briefs that pinpoint exactly what to ask and why. Then we tie every finding to a decision: adjust the price, add a protection, or walk away.
Post-Acquisition
Where can the business make more or spend less?
After close, SHP looks at one thing: where profitability can improve. We review the business for the revenue and cost moves that matter most.
Profitability Review — post-close upside.
A focused review of where profitability can improve. We surface the revenue and cost opportunities that matter most.
SHP sits on the buyer's side.
We represent buyers only, and we work alongside your attorney, CPA, lender, and specialists, not in place of them.
