Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our process

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. We execute your NDA before any commercial discussion. All engagements are confidential by default.

Do you raise capital or broker deals?

No. We do not raise capital, take placement fees, or hold equity positions. We provide independent technical assessment and diligence leadership only.

How quickly can you start?

Most engagements commence within 5 business days of contract signature. For time-sensitive situations we can mobilize within 48 hours.

What is the typical fee structure?

Fees depend on transaction size and technical complexity. Core diligence engagements range from £15,000 to £75,000. Fixed scope, no hourly billing. Ongoing support and larger transactions quoted separately.

Who leads the engagement?

A senior consultant is assigned to every engagement and acts as your single point of contact from start to finish. No delegation to junior staff.

What happens after delivery?

All deliverables are transferred to you. We can provide ongoing support during live diligence, join investor calls, or contract separately for post-transaction execution support.
