Process

From first call to closing.

What to expect when you bring us an opportunity. Each opportunity is evaluated on its own merits and timetable.

  1. Step 1 · Initial contact

    First conversation

    A call or email with the summary. We say quickly whether it fits our focus and criteria, and if it does not, we say so.

  2. Step 2 · Initial review

    Initial review

    We read the materials, ask direct questions and decide whether to go further. Nothing is shopped or shared beyond our advisers.

  3. Step 3 · After the initial review

    Indication of interest

    A clear statement of the role, structure and terms we propose, and what we still need to confirm.

  4. Step 4 · Weeks, set by the deal

    Diligence

    The business plan, legal documents, property or company detail and the sponsor's record, with outside advisers where needed.

  5. Step 5 · Alongside diligence

    Decision and documents

    A final decision by the principal, and operating, partnership or purchase documents negotiated in plain terms.

  6. Step 6 · At closing, then for the hold

    Closing and after

    Funding at closing, then regular reporting and an available partner for as long as we hold.
