Due diligence for the lower mid-market
Cradan is a professional due diligence partner for investors and acquirers. We connect financial performance, market dynamics and operational realities into a single, coherent view, built for the pace of modern transactions.
Why Cradan
Founded by senior professionals with experience both advising and building businesses, Cradan delivers integrated financial and commercial diligence designed for decision-making, not just compliance.
Where traditional providers operate in silos, we join the dots. We connect financial performance, market dynamics and operational realities into a single, coherent view.
Our work supports better deal decisions and enables trend analysis across portfolios, creating lasting value beyond the transaction.
“Clearer insight. Fewer blind spots. A foundation for value creation beyond the deal.”
Integrated Due Diligence
We provide joined-up commercial, financial and operational due diligence, designed to give a complete, decision-ready picture of each opportunity. Rather than delivering separate streams in isolation, we connect the data, market context and operational realities that matter.
Additional Services
Beyond our core diligence streams, Cradan offers a broad range of complementary services designed to flex around your business needs, from early-stage advisory through to post-deal value creation.
Integrated diligence support across the full transaction lifecycle, from early evaluation through to completion.
Strategic guidance on capital structure, fundraising and exit planning, tailored to founders and investors alike.
Post-deal advisory focused on operational improvement, growth initiatives and unlocking long-term portfolio value.
Rapid, focused reviews to surface critical risks early, supporting decisive go/no-go investment decisions.
Our Founders
We've been business leaders and we've been consultants. We've advised transactions and we've been part of them. That perspective shapes everything we do.
