Groundwork
Most deals die in due diligence, not at the term sheet.
Groundwork finds and fixes what a buyer, lender or investor would find first, so your deal survives diligence and closes on your terms.
Five things that sink deals.
Each one is cheap to fix before a deal and expensive to fix during one.
Corporate filings and CAC
Annual returns, statutory registers, board and shareholder resolutions brought up to date.
Cap table clean-up
Who owns what, on paper and in fact, reconciled with every share issue and transfer.
IP ownership confirmed
Brands, software and content assigned to the company, not left with founders or contractors.
Material contract review
Change-of-control, exclusivity and termination terms found before a buyer finds them.
Regulatory gaps fixed
Licences, permits and sector filings checked, renewed and documented.

Organised, indexed and ready for a buyer’s or investor’s advisers.
