M&A Readiness and Transaction Support

Ready.
Set.
Close.

Deals are won through readiness. When the clock is ticking, you need one partner who can institutionalize your finance function and lead you through a successful transaction.

What You Get

Move into Diligence
with Confidence.

Most companies only get one bite of the apple when it comes to a successful transaction. Prepare today to both derisk the process and maximize your earnings.

Strengthen Buyer Confidence

Clean books and a polished set of add-backs that will hold up under scrutiny.

Increase Business Value

Frame your earnings story with historical analysis and a vetted growth plan.

Reduce Transaction Risk

Address legal, HR, and operational landmines before diligence starts — not during.

Maximize Negotiation Power

Enter every conversation with the numbers, narrative, and preparation buyers respect.

Streamline the Exit Process

Build your exit team, buyer list, and data room before you go to market — not after.

Who This Is For

Is This You?

This service is built for founders and operators who are thinking about a transaction — and want to make sure they're ready when the moment comes.

Founder Planning an Exit

You're 12–24 months out from a sale and want to maximize valuation, minimize surprises, and walk away with what your business is truly worth.

PE-Backed Portfolio Company

Owner Considering a Recap

You're exploring a recapitalization, minority investment, or management buyout and need the financial infrastructure to support it.

We've worked with dozens of companies and advisors across numerous transactions. I can honestly say that the Inflammo team produced the most accurate, ready-to-go set of financials we've ever seen. They were a critical part of the transaction process.
