Acquisition decision model

Follow a fictional business acquisition from price and financing assumptions to cash constraints, downside tests, and a complete Decision Packet.

What’s inside

  • The Capital Control acquisition demonstration workbook.
  • The matching 12-page Acquisition Decision Packet.
  • A project guide for adapting the example with your own evidence and AI assistant.

Bring your own inputs

Buyer and target financial records; purchase price; financing terms; working capital; reserves and obligations; operating assumptions; your decision limits and review requirements.

How to use it

  1. Read the sample packet to understand the question and how the model supports it.
  2. Open a copy of the workbook and explore the fictional scenarios.
  3. Create a separate project for a real acquisition and replace every sample assumption with supported inputs.
  4. Review financing, cash and repayment constraints, then document the gaps and next actions.

Review before relying on the result

All business details, figures, financing terms, and events are fictional. The example is not lender approval, an actual client outcome, or authorization to transact. Review any real transaction with the appropriate professionals.
