For Search Funds

Bring independent evidence review into acquisition work without building another internal function.

Searchers need to move efficiently, but a single unsupported factual proposition can distort an otherwise sound acquisition process.

Where the factual boundary appears

Situations where specialist evidence review may fit

A management or seller claim is central to the thesis.

The searcher needs to separate repeated information from genuine independent corroboration.

A public record creates uncertainty that ordinary screening has not resolved.

A defined evidence question should be tested before committing more diligence time or capital.

Illustrative situation

A target’s “major customer” claim needs a closer look

You are considering a business acquisition. A presentation describes several organisations as major customers, but the supporting material includes old pilot projects.

Which customer relationships are current, contracted and relevant to the acquisition assumption?

What we would examine: Compare the authorised data-room evidence, dates, contracting entities and representations. Distinguish a historical trial from a current relationship.
What you could receive: An acquisition-assumption review with claim-to-source comparisons and questions for your transaction advisers.

How a finding could read, if the evidence supported it

The supplied record supports an earlier pilot. It does not establish a current recurring contract or the revenue attributed to that customer.

Why this helps: Your team can direct further diligence to the assumption that matters to the proposed deal.

This is an illustration, not a completed client assignment or a finding about a real organisation. The actual evidence determines the result.

Start with the client problem

Your role remains yours

Aperture is designed to complement, not replace, the professional adviser.

You retain the client relationship and your core mandate. Aperture accepts only the agreed evidence-review scope and does not become the client's search funds service provider. Where a matter requires legal, financial, tax, technical or other regulated specialist judgment, that dependency remains explicit.

If the same factual uncertainty appears repeatedly across your clients, the relationship can become a channel-partner capability.
