PE & VC firms
PE & VC firms
We work as an extension of the deal team during transaction windows, providing the independent analytical support that moves beyond the management presentation to surface the actual drivers of value and risk. The brief is set by the deal professional. We deliver the model, the diligence work, or the company analysis they need to move the transaction forward or to call it.
For PE firms, the work is typically model-intensive: LBO analysis built to investment committee standard, acquisition pricing sensitivity across entry multiples and debt structures, and the portfolio monitoring that tracks performance against thesis across the holding period. For VC firms, the engagement typically covers quality of earnings assessment, founder and management benchmarking, and investment thesis development for a sector or company under active evaluation.
The most useful due diligence we have done is the kind where the answer was no, and the client had the analysis to back that call.

Services for PE & VC firms

01
Commercial Due Diligence

Independent assessment of a target company’s market potential, competitive position, customer dynamics, growth prospects, and key commercial risks. The analysis supports validation of the investment thesis, identification of value drivers, and informed transaction decision-making.

02
LBO Modeling

Deal models built to investment committee standard: sources and uses, debt schedule across multiple tranches, management incentive schemes, operating model integration, and IRR and exit multiple sensitivity across entry multiples, exit multiples, and holding periods.

03
DCF Modeling

Intrinsic value analysis with WACC derived from the actual capital structure of the business being valued, not a sector database average. Comparable transaction analysis is built into the valuation as market evidence, not as a check on the DCF but as a parallel method.

04
M&A and Transaction Modeling

Integrated deal models covering acquisition price sensitivity, synergy modeling, accretion/dilution analysis, and post-merger integration cost modeling. Assumptions are grounded in what the diligence found rather than the management case.

05
Quality of Earnings (QoE) Assessment

Analysis of whether reported profitability reflects underlying cash generation or is inflated by accounting treatment such as aggressive revenue recognition, working capital movements, or non-recurring items.

06
Investment Thesis Development

Building the analytical framework that allows the deal team to construct, validate, and defend an investment thesis ahead of a capital commitment. For existing theses, investment proposal assessment evaluates whether the assumptions are grounded in fundamentals or driven by optimism.

07
Portfolio Monitoring

Independent valuation updates, performance attribution analysis, and periodic research for active holdings across the fund cycle. For PE portfolio companies, management meeting and board meeting note preparation is part of the same practice.

08
Investment-Linked Market Intelligence

Primary and secondary market research to validate the commercial assumptions feeding the deal model. Competitor benchmarking, demand analysis, and white space mapping grounded in field research, not just published reports.

09
Founder & Management Benchmarking

For VC mandates where team quality is a primary investment variable. Management track record, capital allocation history, and governance structure assessed as part of the same engagement as the financial and commercial analysis.

10
Strategic Advisory

Capital allocation analysis, portfolio evaluation, and M&A advisory inputs for investment committees making structural decisions across the fund.

11
Corporate Strategy

Assessment of strategic priorities, business portfolio, growth pathways, and resource allocation to support long-term value creation. The analysis helps companies evaluate new business lines, market expansion, operating model changes, and strategic initiatives aligned with broader corporate objectives

Sector-specific research for PE & VC deal teams

The analytical work for a PE or VC transaction is most credible when it draws on sector-specific domain expertise, not just generic financial modeling frameworks. Perusal's industry coverage provides the sector context, regulatory knowledge, and competitive benchmarking that deal teams need to make the investment thesis defensible.
