Commercial due diligence is a test of whether this business, bought at this price, produces cash you do not already have.
How SpearTip Advisors helps. The firm’s line is perpetually sharp, human-edged. A data room can support a thesis. It cannot tell you which part of the thesis is the seller’s. That is the project.
This is what we do:
- The synergy, quantified. We test cross-sell, cost takeout, and local market expansion against customer behavior and competitive position, not against the bridge in the teaser. If it cannot be sized, it does not go into the price.
- The commercial engine. Stickiness, why revenue actually moves, and where the target is exposed. Revenue quality before revenue growth. A revenue pipeline that depends on a few relationships, a fading channel, or a price that will not hold is marked as such.
- The inversion. We look for the flaw that has killed deals like this before the exclusivity clock makes walking expensive.
- The call. Positive findings become an integration sequence and a synergy-capture plan. Negative findings become a clean walk-away, with the capital preserved for the next opportunity. You leave with a recommendation you can underwrite, not a memo that blesses the process.
You keep the decision. SpearTip Advisors keeps the seller’s story separate from the cash, and the exit ramp open until the evidence closes it. That is the difference between buying a company and buying a narrative.
