The Problem

Most business buyers go in blind.

You're about to spend £50k, £200k, maybe more. You've seen the listing, spoken to the seller, maybe even visited the premises. But have you really looked at the numbers?

The Process

Three steps to complete confidence.

01
Upload or enter a number

Upload the company's PDF accounts directly, or simply provide the Companies House registration number and we'll retrieve them automatically.

02
We analyse the financials

Our analyst examines profitability, liquidity, debt, working capital, and identifies red flags — cross-referenced against Companies House filings and sector data.

03
Receive your report

A clear, structured PDF report lands in your inbox within 24 hours. Plain English findings, key ratios, risk flags, and a summary of what to investigate further.

Analyst Findings

Strong profitability but two material items require clarification before proceeding: the £296k tax creditor and the concentration of debtors in what appears to be a connected party...

The nature of the related party relationship requires formal confirmation. Director loan account movements between 2024 and 2025 suggest additional extraction that does not appear on the face of the accounts. Recommend requesting full debtor schedule and HMRC correspondence before exchange.
