For private equity
Data-room depth before the first management meeting.
Read the CIM, the model and the data room in parallel, test the numbers before you meet management, and see the market around the target: buyers, add-ons and concentration.
The problem
A CIM is a selling document
The numbers are the seller’s chosen presentation. The work is to find where the model, the accounts and the narrative disagree, before the process moves on.
Processes move quickly
Bid deadlines leave little time for the first read. The team needs the structured picture on day one, not at the end of the week.
Buy-and-build needs market structure
A platform thesis depends on fragmentation, add-on candidates and who else is buying. That evidence is rarely in the data room.
Try it · Comparables on sample data. Dock add-ons onto a platform in the Roll-up Board, open a section’s Guide, or flip Winner-Take-Most between people and capital.

FAQ
Private equity: common questions.
Does Hebrides handle EBITDA-based valuations?
Yes. For mature, profitable companies Hebrides typically weights EV/EBITDA comparables and DCF as core methods, with precedent transactions in support and an LBO return or NAV as a floor. One-off items in EBITDA are flagged for you to adjust or keep.
Can it help with a buy-and-build thesis?
Yes. The Roll-up Board tests whether the market is fragmented enough, scores add-on candidates against a platform and suggests a docking order; Buyer Appetite shows who has bought similar companies and at what multiple.
Can the output match our IC paper format?
Yes. Upload an existing IC paper as a template and the Report Agent mirrors its structure, branding and voice, then exports to Word.
