How we work

Clarity at every decision point.

A mandate-led process designed to protect relationships, improve preparation and keep the next step explicit.

The operating principle

Move with purpose, not noise.

Capital processes lose momentum when authority is unclear, criteria are broad or information is released before a counterparty has been qualified.

Asolva establishes the rules of engagement first, then progresses through a controlled sequence of decisions.

Operating model

From mandate design to qualified handover.

The workflow from the corporate overview, with the client retaining control at the key approval points.

Define → originate → qualifySix-stage operating system
01

Mandate design

Define sector, geography, transaction profile and exclusions.

02

Universe mapping

Identify companies, assets, owners and decision-makers.

03

Context enrichment

Add ownership detail, relevant signals and relationship context.

04

Prioritisation & review

Rank by fit and timing, then review the target universe with the client.

05

Discreet outreach

Approach selected counterparties without broad circulation.

06

Qualification & handover

Confirm interest, authority and readiness before introduction.

Client control 01Mandate approved
Client control 02Target universe reviewed
Client control 03Outreach authorised
Client control 04Qualified conversation accepted

Asolva manages the workflow. The client controls the mandate, outreach and decision to proceed.

Advisory sequence

Five connected decisions.

The sequence adapts to the mandate; each stage should produce a decision, not simply activity.

01

Assess

Define objective, authority, constraints and mandate fit.

02

Structure

Choose the capital route, process and key parameters.

03

Position

Prepare narrative, evidence, materials and expectations.

04

Access

Qualify and engage relevant counterparties.

05

Execute

Maintain alignment, feedback and momentum.

The process does not imply that every engagement includes securities placement or transaction execution.

Control points

What must be clear before introductions begin.

These questions protect the client, the counterparty and the relationship.

Who holds authority?Direct mandate, approved intermediary role or another clearly defined capacity.
What is confidential?Information boundaries, approval requirements and staged disclosure.
What constitutes fit?Structure, sector, geography, cheque size, timing and strategic logic.
Who owns the relationship?Origin, communication channel and rules for future contact.
How are economics handled?Fee structure, contingencies and regulated activities clarified in advance.
What is the next decision?One permissioned action with a clear owner and expected timing.
Communication

High-touch without unnecessary theatre.

Concise updates. The information required to make the next decision.

Transparent qualification. Clear reasons why a counterparty or opportunity does—or does not—fit.

Controlled disclosure. Materials shared progressively according to relevance and permission.

Close feedback loops. Market response translated into practical decisions.

Assess fit

Begin with a confidential discussion.

We will clarify the requirement, the parties involved and whether Asolva is the right adviser for the situation.
