Your workflow
The four jobs on a sell-side mandate
- Pitching the mandate
Arrive with the sector view and a first range
- Today
- A pitch is judged on how much you already know about the owner's industry, and finding out takes days before there is any fee.
- NeuraCap
- Gives you the sector outlook, where transaction multiples sit and a first-pass valuation range for the business before the first meeting.
- You get
- A sector read and a first range you can talk through in the room.
- Preparing the materials
Draft the valuation, CIP and teaser from one set of financials
- Today
- The same numbers are rebuilt by hand for the valuation, the CIP and the teaser, and the three drift apart.
- NeuraCap
- Reads the financials in any format, then drafts each document in your firm's template from the same figures, with every number linked to the page and line it came from.
- You get
- Drafts to edit instead of documents to write, as Word or PDF.
- Mapping buyers and precedents
See who is buying and what they paid
- Today
- Finding the relevant deals, the multiples actually paid and the buyers behind them means searching several sources by hand.
- NeuraCap
- Searches over 30,000 M&A deals for precedents, filters them by sector, size, date and buyer type, and excludes implausible multiples before anything is plotted.
- You get
- A precedent set with the multiples paid, and a read on which kinds of buyer are active in the sector.
- Staying ahead of your sectors
Know what moved before your clients ask
- Today
- Keeping a current view of every sector you cover is a job in itself, so it gets done before a pitch and goes stale after.
- NeuraCap
- Runs automated coverage across 50+ industries around the clock, so the sector outlook and the bi-weekly M&A update are already there when you need them.
- You get
- A current read on each sector you cover, and a reason to call each client.

Straight answers
The questions we are asked first
- Is NeuraCap an investment bank or a broker?
- No. NeuraCap is software and research for the people who advise on a sale. It is not a broker, appraiser or adviser, does not represent buyers or sellers, does not list businesses for sale and does not run sale processes. It creates no fiduciary relationship, and the advice you give your client remains yours.
- Does it give us a buyer list?
- It shows buyer activity in the transaction record: which acquirers and which types of buyer have been active in a sector, and the multiples where terms were disclosed. It is market evidence for building your own list, not a contact database and not an introduction service.
- Is a NeuraCap valuation an appraisal or a fairness opinion?
- No. It is analysis to support your work. It is not an appraisal, a fairness opinion or a recommendation, and it should not be presented to a client as one.
- Who controls the numbers in a draft?
- You do. AI reads and analyses the documents, but every figure links to the line it was read from, any figure can be changed by asking the assistant or typing in the document, and every change is kept in a trail you can undo. Nothing is issued until you issue it.
- Can the documents follow our house style?
- Yes. Your header, footer, cover, letterhead, fonts and logo are set up with you at onboarding, and you can add your own templates and past work so drafts follow your structure and standard wording.
- How is client information handled?
- What you upload is encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS, and client data is never published or pooled with other firms' work. The security page describes how it is handled in full.
- What does it cost?
- The sector research is free to read in full. Platform access is scoped to your team, so there is no published price list. The pricing page explains what each level includes.
