Acquisition operating system
EquityLift is your online deal manager helping SME acquirers and buy-and-build entrepreneurs organise the entire buyer journey, from deal tracking and valuations to forecasting, finance readiness, due diligence and the first 90 days after completion.
Built on practical experience across SME acquisitions, commercial due diligence, post-acquisition growth and buy-and-build strategy in owner-led businesses: cleaning, facilities management, electrical, plumbing, heating, fire safety, recruitment, care, nurseries and professional services.
You don't know what makes a good deal.
You're unsure how to speak to sellers.
You don't know what lenders need.
You're overwhelmed by due diligence.
You're worried about what happens after completion.
You're trying to build a group, not just buy a job.
Fifteen modules that carry you from first thesis to post-acquisition growth.
Turn a vague ambition into precise buying criteria.
A CRM for owners, brokers and next actions.
Your criteria as numbers; every target scored against them.
Score any target out of 100 across ten categories.
The running order for a first owner call.
Five methods, one defendable range, on your own numbers.
Adjusted EBITDA, debt cover and the lender document list.
A 36-month cashflow with debt cover and AI-researched growth opportunities.
Upfront, deferred, earnout and the rationale behind it.
Platform, bolt-ons, shared services, exit story.
Every document requested, received, chased and queried.
Thirteen workstreams with owners and risk levels.
NDA, IOI, heads of terms and lender pack drafted from your data.
Stabilise, systemise, grow.
Sixteen practical templates and frameworks.
Screening, valuation, documents and a data room: the parts of a deal most buyers run in a pile of spreadsheets.
Write your mandate once as numbers. Every target in the pipeline is measured against it and ranked, with the red flags (asking multiple, thin margin, owner dependency, cold next actions) called out before you spend a week on a business you would never buy.
EBITDA, seller discretionary earnings, revenue, discounted cash flow and net assets: all on the same inputs, with a range, an implied multiple and the equity value after debt. Every figure is computed from what you entered, nothing is invented.
Mutual NDA, indication of interest, heads of terms, information request list, buyer credentials and a lender pack summary, all written from the deal data already in your workspace, ready to copy or download for your solicitor.
A request list by category with status, owner and a link to every file, plus a running question-and-answer log, so you always know what is outstanding and what came back.
Roadmap, thesis, pipeline, scoring, finance, diligence, offer and the first 90 days after completion. One target, one set of numbers, shared across every screen instead of eight spreadsheets.
Everything saves to your account as you type, so you can pick the deal back up on any device. Nothing you enter is shared with anyone else.
