MORR Capital · Method

The process is written down.

Two frameworks govern how every mandate runs. Both are applied the same way on every engagement and revised as market practice moves. The structure is public; the negotiating judgment that sits inside it stays with the deal team.

Mandate lifecycle

The nine phases.

The arc a live mandate runs, from the letter that appoints us to the obligations that outlast the wire. The same nine phases apply to a sale, a raise, and a refinancing.

Engagement and terms

Scope, fee structure, and conflicts settled in writing before work begins.

Kickoff and working group

Counsel, accountants, and the deal team on one calendar, with one owner per workstream.

Preparation

The work that decides most of the outcome. Nothing goes to market before this closes.

Marketing and indications

Approach, materials, and indications normalized so they can be compared honestly.

Management meetings

Rehearsed against what counterparties actually test, not against the deck.

Final bids and exclusivity

Granted late, narrowly, and only against a scoped confirmatory list.

Confirmatory diligence and documentation

Findings priced in real time; the agreement negotiated in parallel, never after.

Signing to closing

Conditions precedent, consents, and regulatory clearances tracked to a dated plan.

Post-close

Escrow, earnout, transition obligations, and the true-up nobody remembers until it arrives.

Diligence diagnostic

The ten workstreams.

The coverage checklist diligence runs against in either direction: scored for readiness before a room opens, and owned line by line once it does.

Financial

Quality of earnings, add-backs, working capital, and the cash conversion behind the margin.

Commercial

Customer concentration, contract quality, churn, pricing power, and pipeline evidence.

Legal

Corporate records, material contracts, change-of-control provisions, litigation, and consents.

Tax

Structure, historical exposures, transaction tax treatment, and the after-tax outcome.

Operational

Capacity, supply chain, systems, and the dependencies nobody documented.

Technology

Infrastructure, security posture, licensing, technical debt, and what breaks under scale.

People

Key-person exposure, retention, compensation structures, and the org chart after close.

Regulatory

Licences, permits, compliance history, and clearance timelines that set the calendar.

Insurance and risk

Coverage adequacy, claims history, and representations-and-warranties insurability.

Environmental

Site conditions, obligations, and liabilities that travel with the asset.

A process that is written down is a process you can audit.

Start

Start a conversation.

The first one costs nothing and usually settles whether there is a mandate at all.
