Introducing the B.E.S.T. F.I.T.™ Methodology – F is for Feasibility

Some deals look great on paper.

But can they actually work in practice?

At Archimax, we believe every acquisition must pass a simple test: is it feasible?

That’s why the “F” in our B.E.S.T. F.I.T.™ framework stands for Feasibility — our in-depth assessment of whether the business, the plan, and the team can realistically deliver the intended outcomes.

This is where we combine operational realism with financial rigour.

Our experience managing capital for pension funds, family offices, and institutional investors taught us one thing: assumptions must be stress-tested.

So before we commit, we assess:

↳ Operational handover: is there a credible transition from the seller to the buyer?

↳ Execution capability: can the buyer actually implement the plan with current resources?

↳ Financial realism: are the projections conservative, well-structured, and achievable?

↳ Cash flow sufficiency: can the business fund itself and absorb shocks?

↳ Working capital: does the plan account for seasonality, ramp-up costs, or changes in customer behaviour?

↳ Financing terms: are repayment profiles, covenants, and buffers realistic?

↳ Contingency: what if revenues slip, costs rise, or timing changes?

We are not looking for perfect forecasts. We are looking for responsible planning, tested assumptions, and sensible downside protection.

Because in the SME space, resilience matters just as much as ambition.

Archimax supports experienced buyers through our private, invitation-only investment club.

The club operates on a deal-by-deal basis for eligible professional investors and does not carry out any regulated activity.

↳ If you are a professional investor looking to engage with thoroughly screened opportunities, we would be happy to share more.
