Commercial Finance

Support on the financial side of decisions and deals, focused on the commercial logic rather than the spreadsheet alone. The purpose is to make sure a transaction still makes sense after the assumptions have been tested.

Modelling and scenario work

Models built to be interrogated, with assumptions surfaced rather than buried, and scenarios that reflect the risks the client is actually taking on.

Valuation context

What comparable businesses and assets trade for in the relevant market, and why local multiples may differ legitimately from the buyer's home market rather than representing a bargain.

Structuring considerations

How consideration, conditionality, and protections are typically arranged in each jurisdiction, and which structures signal prudence versus which signal suspicion to the counterparty.

Board and investor reporting

Financial narratives that read correctly to both a Spanish-speaking board and an English-speaking investment committee.

Situations this work addresses

The discount that was not a discount

A foreign buyer sees local multiples well below what it pays at home and reads opportunity. Often the gap reflects real differences in growth, capital intensity, or liquidity. Naming which part of the gap is genuine value and which is correctly priced risk is the useful contribution.

These are illustrative situations drawn from the kinds of problems this work addresses. They do not describe identifiable clients or transactions.
