MILES / Pre-Deal & Advisory Services
Pre-Deal Valuation Assessment
Explore an indicative value range before committing to transaction terms.
Discuss Pre-Deal Valuation Assessment
Before a transaction is agreed, management needs to understand what supports the proposed price and which assumptions could change the investment case. Early analysis can highlight questions to investigate as more information becomes available.
MILES provides pre-deal valuation assessments for acquisitions, disposals and investments, analysing indicative value ranges, business forecasts and key sensitivities to support management’s transaction discussions.

- You want to assess an indicative offer or asking price.
- A potential acquisition or investment is at an early discussion stage.

How we help
Clarify the transaction question
Understand the proposed structure, available terms, decision timetable and intended use of the analysis.
Assess the financial evidence
Review historical performance, forecasts and market references, separating supported information from preliminary assumptions.
Analyse value and scenarios
Explore an indicative range and the effect of alternative growth, margin, investment and funding assumptions.
Identify next-step questions
Explain the main value drivers, limitations and matters requiring further information or specialist investigation.
What information is typically required?
- Transaction overview, indicative terms and ownership interest
- Available financial statements and management information
- Forecasts, business plans and investment assumptions
- Funding plans, negotiation priorities and decision timetable
The information request will be tailored to the purpose and scope. If your records are incomplete, we can first discuss preparation priorities.
Frequently asked questions
Is the indicative range a recommended transaction price?
It is an analytical reference based on agreed assumptions and available information. The negotiated price also reflects terms, risk allocation and the parties’ objectives; the assessment does not determine the price.
Does this replace financial due diligence?
No. This service focuses on valuation questions. Financial, tax, legal or other due diligence may be needed separately to investigate the transaction and verify information.
