Buyer intelligence, built around your next decision
Aperture investigates what your deal depends on. Search support, seller-side claims, closing questions and the first 100 days fit into one source-traceable workflow, under separate written scopes.
Target identity and lawful screening
Company names, registration numbers, duplicate entities, publicly listed opportunities, risk and source freshness. Off-market research does not imply willingness to sell or brokerage.
Pre-LOI decision gates
Assumption register, evidence sufficiency, critical flags, competing hypotheses and smallest proportionate next investigation.
Independent claim verification
Ownership, history, permitted contracts, customers, suppliers, licences, source provenance, recorded contradictions and expert handoffs.
Decision-ready delivery
One-page decision brief, claim-to-evidence matrix, dated sources, reliance boundaries, questions for the CPA or attorney.
Post-close and continuing intelligence
Source-checked baseline, agreed monitoring triggers and a written change log. Monitoring requires a separate activation agreement.
Independence first: we do not source financing, promise access to proprietary databases, introduce counterparties for commissions or take a position in the target. Off-market screening uses lawful evidence only and does not establish a sale intention. Any referrals need documented conflict management.
