ARE YOU TRANSACTION-READY?
North Ridge Partners has created a tailor-made process to prepare your company for its fund raising or sale quickly and inexpensively: the Deal Accelerator. We’ve done this for a single purpose - to help founders to maximise the value of their technology companies when it counts most.
HOW THE DEAL ACCELERATOR WORKS
The first step is to score your company’s preparedness through our Transaction-Readiness Diagnostic. The Diagnostic will highlight your company’s strengths, and the areas needing more focus before you can launch your deal.
The expert teams in our Sydney and Singapore Accelerators will then run a two-day workshop with your key stakeholders, using a series of sprints to prepare and optimise you for a fund raising or sale transaction.
This process requires some preparation beforehand, and typically generates a work plan to be completed before you launch a transaction. The sprints focus on key matters that need to be well thought through before you launch a transaction, including:
stakeholder alignment
expectation management
strategic positioning
operational strength
value drivers
valuation
how transactions work
governance and reporting
marketing approach and collateral
Because we look at these issues through the lens of an investor, we often bring a completely fresh perspective to the table.
We identify gaps, provide solutions and accentuate your company’s value proposition to increase the likelihood of achieving a successful fund raising or M&A outcome. If you aren’t ready, or we think you won’t maximise value, we will tell you, and we will advise on what you can do to improve your position.
Here is the process in a flow chart:
AFTER COMPLETION
Our goal is for every client that completes the Deal Accelerator to launch its funding or exit transaction quickly, and to close it on the best possible terms.
We will teach you the short-cuts that we have learned from many years of doing deals. By the end of day two, you will know exactly what needs to be done to get transaction-ready and to maximise your chances of success.
