Financely delivers independent, buyer-side SMB acquisition due diligence built around the same underwriting standards used by private credit funds and acquisition lenders. Each engagement is led by practitioners with direct experience packaging and placing lower-middle-market transactions across senior debt, unitranche, and sponsor-backed structures.
We analyze historical and normalized EBITDA, quality of earnings, customer and revenue concentration, margin stability, working capital behavior, contract enforceability, legal and regulatory exposures, and operational scalability. Findings are documented in a structured diligence memorandum that mirrors lender credit files, clearly separating verified facts from assumptions and identifying items that impact valuation, capital structure, and closeability.
The objective is simple: provide a defensible, decision-grade assessment that allows buyers to proceed, renegotiate, or walk away with confidence before committing acquisition capital.
