Do you work with us ongoing, or only on deals?

Both. We help grow the value of the business and run the finance function day to day (reporting, forecasting, KPIs, investor relations), and we lead the financing, sale or acquisition when the moment comes.

What should we have ready for a first call?

Just a sense of what you're trying to achieve. Everything else, from accounts to forecasts to investor materials, can follow once we know where you're headed. Don't wait until things feel ready; early conversations are usually the most valuable ones.

Frequently asked questions

Collateral-first lending is the default here, which strands good businesses that rent their premises and grow through people rather than property. The alternatives are real but demand better preparation: cash-flow based facilities from selected lenders, receivables and equipment financing, private credit, and equity where the growth plan justifies it. Each prices risk differently. We assess what your cash flow can realistically support, prepare the materials lenders and investors need, and run the process across several options at once.

Yes, but the accounts have to get there first, because investors and buyers can only pay for what they can verify. This is the most common starting point in our Philippine work: a genuinely strong business whose reporting has not kept up. We rebuild the financial picture, from management accounts and forecasts to the supporting documentation, into a form outsiders can rely on, and only then open the conversation with lenders, investors or buyers. Done in that order, the business gets full credit for its performance.

A wider pool than most owners assume: local conglomerates expanding into adjacent sectors, regional strategics from across Southeast Asia, and international funds that want Philippine exposure through established operators. Foreign ownership is restricted in certain sectors, which shapes deal structure rather than killing interest. We map which of these groups fits your company and build the process, including the ownership structure conversation, around the realistic buyers rather than a generic list.

They care how it is organised, not that it exists. Family-led businesses dominate the Philippine market, and buyers and investors are comfortable with them, provided the ownership is clear, family and company finances are separated, and the people critical to the business are identified and staying. Where those lines have blurred over the years, we help untangle them before the process starts. That work protects value; discovering it mid-diligence costs value.
