Supply chain, fulfilment, systems and management capability - assessed against the growth case you are underwriting, costed, and turned into a plan we can help deliver.

On a live target, on a business you have just closed, or across the portfolio on a standing cadence.
Operational due diligence
Supply chain, fulfilment, systems, management capability and scalability, assessed against your growth case and costed - so the operational downside is priced into the model, not discovered in month three.

Review cadence and execution support
We sit alongside your financial and legal advisers and answer the question they cannot: can this operation actually deliver the case you are underwriting, and what does it cost if it cannot.
No associate team, no leverage model. We have not learned this from a desk. We run supply chains for scaling consumer brands every day, so we know where the pain points hide in a business like this one, what tends to go wrong next, and what a site will actually do at three times the volume.
Material risks are quantified - what it costs to fix, how long it takes and who has to do it. That is something you can take into the negotiation, into the model, or into the IC paper as it stands.
Most advisers hand over the report and leave. We can stay through the first 90 days to deliver the plan, and hire the leadership to embed it where the team is the gap.
£1m to £200m
A journey we have built for client after client. We know what has to be true at every stage of it.
Our day job
We work inside some of the UK's fastest growing brands. Your target's next problem is our current one.
End to end
Supply chain, tech, process, people and new markets. Growth breaks at whichever one gets left behind.
We stay to deliver
Findings are the start, not the job. We stay and deliver the change as each constraint arrives.
Tell us the target and the timeline. We'll tell you the three things we would look at first, and whether a full assessment is worth your money.
