We support many private equity investors through the full deal lifecycle, including sourcing investment opportunities, company valuations and deal negotiation, financial and tax due diligence, and exit paper preparation.

At Armstrong Watson, we bring vast experience in advising private equity investors in diverse investment opportunities across the UK.

Our dedicated team has proudly advised a vast array of individual private equity firms over the last two decades, building a track record of success and trust.
Comprehensive Advisory Services for the Deal Lifecycle
While our advice is typically 'full-service' from start to finish, we also offer a flexible menu of options that can be individually tailored to your specific needs:
- Acquisition Search: We conduct meticulous market screening across individual sectors to identify companies that align perfectly with your desired investment parameters (e.g., size, maturity, management team strength, geographical footprint). Leveraging our proprietary relationships and extensive data, we facilitate direct introductions to these promising companies.
- Deal Negotiations: Our experts provide robust company valuations, prepare detailed Term Sheets, and expertly negotiate these terms with target shareholders and their management teams to secure the best possible outcome for your investment.
- Financial and Tax Due Diligence: Our dedicated financial due diligence team possesses a wealth of experience in preparing comprehensive due diligence reports. These reports are designed to withstand the scrutiny of private equity investment committees, as well as bank and debt fund credit committees, providing the confidence and clarity required for critical decisions.

- Deal Completion: We offer full-swing deal management throughout the entire diligence process. This includes crucial assistance during legal negotiations and the meticulous preparation of all necessary investment committee papers and future exit documentation, ensuring a smooth and efficient close.
