Independent, senior-led financial due diligence for acquisitions, disposals and investment transactions involving Cyprus businesses and international groups.
Audited financial statements provide an important baseline, but they rarely answer every question that matters in a transaction. Financial due diligence focuses on the sustainability of earnings, cash conversion, working-capital requirements, balance-sheet exposures and the matters that can directly affect valuation or deal terms.
Our work is scoped around the decision being made. We focus reporting on matters that can change price, structure, completion mechanics or post-deal priorities rather than delivering a standard checklist.
Bridge reported EBITDA to a defensible view of sustainable earnings, including one-offs, owner items, accounting estimates, run-rate effects and revenue-quality considerations.
Assess revenue trends, gross margins, customer concentration, recurring versus non-recurring income, pricing, churn indicators and key commercial drivers where data permits.
Identify borrowings, shareholder balances, accrued interest, overdue taxes, deferred consideration, unusual creditor items and other potential debt-like exposures.
Analyse monthly trends, seasonality, receivables, payables, accruals, deferred income and potential normalisation adjustments to support an appropriate working-capital mechanism.
Review the relationship between reported earnings and operating cash generation, with focus on recurring cash requirements and unusual movements.
Challenge material balances, provisions, related parties, commitments and accounting judgements that may affect the buyer’s view of value or risk.
Assess forecast assumptions against historical performance, current trading and operational drivers without presenting the work as an assurance opinion on forecasts.
Support financial definitions and schedules for completion accounts, locked-box structures, net debt, working capital, earn-outs and purchase-price adjustments.
Help corporate buyers, investors and private-equity teams understand earnings quality, cash requirements, exposures and price-sensitive findings before committing capital.
Prepare a business for sale by identifying issues early, normalising financial information and reducing avoidable friction when buyer advisers enter the process.
For smaller or time-sensitive transactions, focus procedures on the few financial questions most likely to affect value, structure or the decision to proceed.
Revenue streams, player liabilities, payment providers, marketing economics, IP arrangements and multi-jurisdiction operating models.
Recurring revenue, development expenditure, intellectual property, customer metrics, capitalised costs and transfer-pricing relationships.
Safeguarding and client-money arrangements, regulatory capital, compliance spend, transaction flows and regulated group structures.
Scope is tailored to the transaction and can include quality of earnings, revenue and margin analysis, working capital, net debt and debt-like items, cash conversion, balance-sheet exposures, forecasts, related parties and transaction-specific risks.
