Insights
Short, practical pieces on the mechanics of M&A and corporate compliance. Written by people who build software for it, and who therefore had to get every detail right.
A success fee bracket is not a percentage
Why 5/4/3/2 on a five-million deal is 160,000 and not 100,000, and why your CRM probably gets it wrong.
complyExtension moves the reference date
Most compliance calendars show red on the wrong day. What "on time" actually means, and why filed is not the same as filed on time.
m&aThe dates everybody forgets after closing
Earn-outs, escrow, warranties, non-competes. The deal team moves on; the obligations do not. How to make sure someone is looking.
m&aA target is not a lead: the four numbers your CRM does not have
Sales software knows the value of a deal. It does not know the size of the company you are buying. That gap is where acquisition pipelines go wrong.
m&aTen statuses at once: why a process needs a phase per bidder
A sell-side process does not have one status. Every counterparty is somewhere else. Software that gives the deal a single status is describing something that does not exist.
entitiesThe share register as a series of mutations, not a snapshot
A snapshot tells you who owns what today. It cannot tell you how that came to be, and that is the question the notary, the bank and the buyer will ask.
entitiesResolutions from templates: why the wording belongs to the notary, not the software
A board resolution is a legal document. Its text was agreed with a notary. Software that hard-codes that text has taken something that was never its to own.
m&aJanuary 8%, December 90%: measuring a pipeline against a goal that moves
A fixed threshold makes every January look like a disaster and every December look fine. The threshold has to move with the calendar.
complyFive registers your auditor will ask about
Rejected clients, claims, incidents, complaints, conflicts of interest. What each register is for, what open means, and why one screen across all five beats five spreadsheets.
Built for firms where everything has to be right
A missed deadline is a fine. A miscalculated fee is a conversation with your client. An incomplete file shows up at the auditor. turph is built so none of that happens.
Private equity firms
Processes with multiple bidders, mandates with brackets, a data room per deal and everything that keeps running for years after closing.
Buy-and-build platforms
A growing group of companies, each with its own file, a pipeline measured against the annual goal, and a first-100-days plan for every addition.
Corporate service providers
Entities managed for third parties: directors, seat, registers, deadlines and statutory documents, demonstrably in order across the portfolio.
