Prep for Exit
We can help you defend higher valuations through leveraging robust commercial data assets.
JMAN partners with our clients by using data to defend higher valuations, de-risk transactions and identify opportunities for further growth. We take messy data from different sources in your organization and turn it into clean, trusted data to communicate a strong equity story around your business’s growth. Our approach typically leaves management with a lasting data asset and management information that is fully-integrated into the business – building something for the future, not just the transaction. This tech-enabled approach supports the data maturity journey of a business, laying the foundations for future scale with next investors and a data platform for successful M&A growth.
What We Do
As more granular data sets, tech-enabled data assets and a data-driven management team are increasingly expected at exit, our partnerships with funds and portfolio companies focus on demonstrating to bidders that de-risking the transaction has been undertaken, giving greater confidence to drive commercial value and provide a platform for future growth.

What We Deliver
If you want your company to demonstrate that it is a progressive data and technology-orientated business, JMAN can help shape that narrative and provide a third-party perspective on your growth story.
Supports higher valuation
Access to data of unprecedented depth and breadth can be used by the “sell-side” to demonstrate the predictability and quality of revenue streams, organic versus inorganic growth rates and other themes central to a company’s equity story.
Investors can use detailed data to get more confident in their investment theses and potentially pay more. What would previously have been qualitative statements from management can now be proven with data.
De-risked, smoother execution
Best-in-class data platform ensures data quality is no longer a potential barrier to launching a transaction. A company can go to market quickly at any time.
Sell-side bankers can now focus on running the transaction instead of worrying about data preparation and quality.
Data cube provides clear single source of truth for all sell-side materials (e.g., IM, Forecast Model, Management Q&A responses).
Long term asset
Data Platform is built directly into company source systems creating a long-term tool for management. This provides management with a permanent, highly scalable, best-in-class data platform and reporting suite to use to manage the business.
Best-in-class platform enables faster reporting, enhanced decision making, and builds foundations for advanced analytics and future value creation.
