Deep transaction experience
We run diligence for searchers buying their first business with an SBA loan and for private equity buying their fifteenth add-on. Decades of combined experience across both.
Quality of Earnings
For searchers and small business buyers using SBA financing, for independent sponsors and family offices, and for private credit and middle market private equity. More than 100 engagements a year. The scope changes with the size and complexity of the deal. The standard of work doesn’t.
Hollywell Partners is now part of Numera. Your Hollywell partners are still your partners—same senior team, bigger bench.
We run diligence for searchers buying their first business with an SBA loan and for private equity buying their fifteenth add-on. Decades of combined experience across both.
Your deal gets experienced eyes from the first call. No juniors handed the work while partners take the credit.
Timely reports that support negotiations, lender discussions, and internal decisions—not padded to justify the invoice.
Diligence is usually the first engagement, not the last. The same connected team continues into fractional CFO work, already knowing the business from the inside.

View profileHow we scope
A $2 million SBA deal and a $200 million platform get different numbers of procedures, because one business has fewer moving parts than the other. They do not get different levels of scrutiny.
You will see “QofE lite” offered across the market, and it usually means a thinner review at a lower price. That is not what it means here. We scope to the size and complexity of the deal in front of us, and on smaller deals we are still doing considerably more work than the firms quoting against us. There is no lite diligence.
What’s covered
The work that is core to every engagement, and what happens once the deal closes.
Core to every engagement
For buyers who need the numbers run, not just checked
More than diligence
A finding shouldn’t sit in a silo. Numera Advisory works alongside the broader Numera network—so when a deal needs technical accounting across international standards, a cross-border structuring view, or a controller to hold things together after close, the people who do that work are already in the building.
Every engagement is scoped to the deal, not to the billable hour.
“The market demands sophistication and speed. We deliver both—Big 4 rigor and technical depth, at the pace modern deals require.” Adam Webster — Due Diligence Practice Leader, Numera Advisory
