Which opportunities deserve my attention?
What you do in TrueValue
Write your acquisition criteria down as numbers. Adverts from the public marketplaces, companies on the register and the CIMs you receive are screened against them.
What you get
Each opportunity scored against your own mandate, with what it does and does not state, and a pipeline that shows where every target stands.
How CIM screening worksWhat price can I justify?
What you do in TrueValue
Drop in the accounts. TrueValue reads the figures, values the business five ways and shows the assumptions behind each method.
What you get
An indicative range with the drivers exposed, so you can see what moves the number before you decide what to offer. The judgement stays yours.
Inside the valuationDoes the deal structure work?
What you do in TrueValue

What you get
Returns, cash cover and the most you can pay at your own hurdles, with the hurdle that binds named. Scenarios sit side by side. No lender is consulted and no return is promised.

How diligence runsHow do I keep the deal moving?
What you do in TrueValue
Tasks, stages, milestones, documents and signatures live on the deal record, next to the analysis.

TrueValue produces the analysis
A five-method valuation, then the deal model: how the price is funded, what the cash flows service, and the most you can pay at your own hurdles.
CalculatedMax price at your hurdles £6.66m, with cash cover the binding limit. At the £8.5m asking price the IRR is 17%, below the 25% hurdle.
You review what it rests on
Every figure names its source. The assumptions are yours to change, what the accounts do not state is listed rather than filled in, and the diligence items still open sit beside the analysis.
