BRG M&A Arm

Proof-gated SME acquisition advisory

Proof mode: no external action

Build the AI-native M&A machine: find the deal, fund the deal, package the deal.

This is a flagship BRG system strength: target one-owner 55-65 motivated-seller SMEs, prove the AI transformation upside, route acquisition finance, prepare the buyer/seller/legal pack, and hold every external move for approval. DEAL_SCOUT, buyer mandates, sell-side interest, UNDERWRITER, OTTO, and SPV formation are visible here as controlled lanes; this page can queue proof and calculate fit, but it cannot start outreach, diligence, finance, mandates, valuation promises, or company formation.

Finish-line state

The visible product is now an operator control surface for find, qualify, finance, pack, and approval. It is still proof-mode: launch, seller contact, lender routing, diligence execution, SPV formation, and legal issue remain blocked until the runtime proof chain is complete.

Not launch-ready

Blocker burn-down

Closed items are backed by source, live probes, register coverage, smoke checks, and runtime inventory. Remaining items stay held until real provider receipts and human approvals exist.

Evidence only

Closed by evidence

Operator flow

Market and bank lens

Compare BRG against current AI M&A platforms, data rooms, private-market intelligence and bank valuation methods. The point is not to copy big-firm tooling; it is to beat them in the SME market by proving owner succession, operator dependence, financeability and AI transformation upside before action.

Source proof ledger

Roll-up command centre

Prepare the acquisition outreach library, rank the sectors most suited to buying several similar SMEs, and model the multiple-arbitrage economics. This is scenario and proof work only: no seller contact, lender submission, buyer introduction, mandate or valuation promise starts from this page.

Scenario model only. Verify multiples, debt, tax, legal, quality of earnings and buyer authority per deal.

DEAL_SCOUT preview

Score one-owner SME targets where a 55-65 owner may be a motivated seller, the business can be transformed with BRG AI systems, and the deal can be financed. Scores are proof-only and do not create a target, send a message, or call a provider.

Internal preview

AI-native M&A machine

Turn UK owner-managed SME data into a controlled acquisition route: find the right one-owner target, prove the owner/succession signal, map the BRG AI uplift, shape the finance path, build the pack, and hold every external action for approval.

Machine route

Engine accuracy map

Every engine must improve a specific decision: target fit, seller motivation, AI uplift, finance route, legal/compliance risk, package quality, outreach safety, approval, and post-deal learning. Unknown data reduces confidence until an engine supplies evidence.

Accuracy gaps to close

Per-deal portal

Each target gets a buyer route, seller route, finance route, legal-doc gate, data-room index, and BRG scale package. Automation prepares the pack; humans approve the external move.

Draft pack gate

Document command centre

Current pack truth for seller approach, banks, finance companies, buyers, data room, legal/compliance and release approval. It is source-backed and proof-only: the pack can be prepared here, but no document leaves BRG until the listed release gates have evidence.

Buyer or seller intake

Capture target-search or seller-intake shape for internal review. The default lane is owner-led succession targets where BRG can transform the business with AI and arrange finance after approval.

Chinese-wall hold

Engine wrapper proof

The M&A app wraps the existing BRG engine points first. New work is limited to ingestion, data capture, conflict proof, and review surfaces where the PRD proves a gap.

Sample data

UNDERWRITER pack readiness

Prepare the credit-committee pack request from the current target without calling the UNDERWRITER webhook. This is the Grant Thornton floor translated into a pass/fail wrapper check.

Webhook held

OTTO finance and Incorpwise SPV readiness

Estimate the internal handoff requirements for acquisition finance and SPV formation. No lender, broker, Companies House, or Incorpwise action is triggered.

Provider hold

HANNIBAL approval request

Create the internal decision record needed before any HOT approach, buyer intro, UNDERWRITER run, OTTO route, FELIX IM, LINC outreach, SPV, mandate, or engagement issue can move beyond proof.

Craig gate

Ronaldo floor checks

Each counterpart row from the PRD is converted into a local pass/fail check with a source path, route, or blocker. This is the build-ready review surface.

Reviewer view

Owned data write path

The product now has a dedicated proof-write route for BRG-owned Supabase tables. Preview stays separate from persistence, and live writes remain disabled in the browser until server env, review and approval are present.
