Record clean-up
Reconcile material balance-sheet and operating accounts.
A transaction changes when the numbers are tested properly
VPRP supports promoters buying, selling or raising money. We review the financial record, identify issues that affect the deal, coordinate valuation and structuring inputs, and help management prepare for the questions that follow.
When this is relevant
Situations that bring clients to us
- A promoter is considering an acquisition and wants to see what the target's numbers do not show.
- A shareholder is preparing to sell before a buyer reviews the finance record.
- A company is raising money and needs consistent history, forecasts and transaction support.
- The parties need help with price, working capital, debt, tax or structure.
- Management needs one finance adviser coordinating with legal, tax and other specialists.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before an engagement
Do you advise buyers and sellers?
Yes, on either side under a defined engagement, subject to conflict checks.
Is valuation included?

Do you provide legal diligence?
No. Appointed lawyers handle legal diligence. VPRP coordinates where finance, tax and contracts overlap.
Can you negotiate?
VPRP supports the promoter on finance findings and agreed commercial implications; the role is set in scope.
