Our experience
Project Cooper
We were engaged by a prospective financier to undertake a pre-lending due diligence review of an international business supplying equipment on hire to the construction industry. We reviewed the recent and forecast financial performance in all of its key markets to consider the likely range of earnings and conversion of earnings to cashflow. We could then advise our client on the level of sustainable debt the group could support.
