BOOK A CALL
THE MOMENT

A portfolio company is nearing exit — or you want the whole book ready.

We prepare companies for the way PE buyers underwrite, where they test the story and where they push on price and terms. You get an honest exit-readiness score, not a sales pitch. Always sell-side.

One company approaching exit

We prepare the business the way its buyers will read it — deep dive, ranked acquirer map, and a tight process — so the exit lands on the fund's timeline and holds up under a demanding buyer's diligence.

The whole portfolio, readied

We score each company's exit readiness and share it straight with the fund and the management team, so capital and attention go where they'll actually move the outcome.

WHY 20SEVEN FOR PE FIRMS

Prepare the company for the questions buyers will actually ask.

Built for buyer scrutiny

We prepare the revenue quality, unit economics, operating case and growth story around the questions a demanding buyer will test in diligence.

An honest exit-readiness score

A straight, comparable read on how prepared each company is to sell — the story, the numbers, the buyer universe, and the gaps to close. Shared with the fund and the management team, no spin.

Portfolio-company preparation

For each company, we run the same core work: deep dive, sale narrative, buyer map, confidential outreach and a managed deal process.

A ranked buyer universe

We identify and rank strategic buyers, sponsors and larger platforms against the specific reasons each could value the portfolio company.

Operators, not bankers

We've built and sold companies ourselves, so we prepare each business as operators who know what a demanding buyer will actually test.

Sell-side only

Our mandate is to the portfolio company as seller. We do not represent the buyer or sit on both sides of the transaction.

HOW IT WORKS

Score readiness, prepare each company, run the exit.

We score each portfolio company's exit readiness, prepare it the way its buyers will read it, and run a tight process when its timing is right — all sell-side. The full method lives in our Strategic Sale Planning. See how Strategic Sale Planning works.

QUESTIONS WE GET

The questions we get,
answered straight.

Yes. We are an Australian technology M&A adviser working with PE firms and their portfolio companies. We assess readiness, prepare the business for buyer scrutiny and run the sale as the company's sell-side adviser.

We prepare and run sell-side exits for your portfolio companies. That can be a single company approaching a liquidity event, or a portfolio-wide readiness pass followed by processes as companies mature. We represent the company as seller and keep the fund and management aligned throughout.

An honest, comparable assessment of how prepared each company is to sell — the story, the numbers, the buyer universe, and the specific gaps to close before a process. We share it straight with the fund and the management team, so everyone works from the same picture and there are no surprises at go-time.

Yes. We prepare the revenue quality, unit economics, operating case and growth story around the questions a demanding financial buyer will test. The goal is to close gaps before diligence turns them into discounts or tougher terms.

Yes. We only ever represent the seller — the portfolio company. We never sit on both sides of the table, so there's no conflict with the fund's or the company's interests.
