Partnerships

Diligence-grade capacity behind your own client relationships

Factum works with a small number of advisory firms who own the client relationship and want analytical depth behind it.

Fit

Who this tends to work for

Described by the shape of the firm. Our partners’ engagements are theirs to talk about.

Corporate finance boutiques

Buy- and sell-side processes where the analytical load is the constraint.

Exit and value-creation advisors

Owners two to five years out, who need a defensible baseline first.

Restructuring and turnaround practices

Where an independent business review has to be fast and hold up to lenders.

Accounting and audit-adjacent firms

Where referral and independence rules need checking per relationship.

The split

You keep the relationship. We supply the pass.

The platform runs 31 modules and 254 specialist sub-agents. A partnership puts that behind your name.

You keep
  • The client relationship and the mandate
  • The advisory judgment and the recommendation
  • The commercial terms with your client
  • Control of what is delivered under your name
We supply
  • The eleven-discipline pass over the data room
  • Cross-discipline reconciliation as a fixed step
  • Findings tied to a document and a passage, every time
  • A named reviewer standing behind the output
Getting started

How a partnership actually starts

With one real engagement, run properly, before anyone commits to anything.

  1. A scoping call

    What your engagements look like and where the analytical load sits. Thirty minutes.

  2. One mandate, run end to end

    One live engagement, same review gate. You see the output before signing anything.

  3. Terms shaped around what happened

    Scope, pricing and rhythm set against a real deliverable. A first draft of a partnership.

Boundaries

What a partnership does not include

Some are commitments to existing partners. The rest is the honest state of a pre-launch company.

  • No white-labelled claim of certification or audit. We can’t stand behind a badge we don’t hold.
  • No unlimited capacity. A partnership that outruns the review gate is worse than no partnership.
  • No blanket referral-fee policy. Where attest or independence rules apply, it is checked per relationship.
  • No claim on your client. Nothing we run for you becomes a case study without your written agreement.
  • No conflicting mandate where we have already committed exclusively. Where an exclusivity exists, we say so.
Questions

What partners ask first

Do you work directly with owners as well?

Yes. Where that could overlap with your market, we’ll tell you before it becomes a problem.

Whose name goes on the report?

Set on the first mandate. Both models exist: delivered under your name with Factum as the engine, or co-delivered.

Can you run only part of the scope?

The eleven-discipline pass is fixed, because the value sits in the reconciliation between disciplines. What varies is the depth of the write-up.

How exclusive is this?

Exclusivity is possible in a defined lane, and it is a real commitment when we make it.
