About

An independent practice built around one discipline.

Anco verifies whether the systems, behaviour and numbers underneath a growth story actually support it — before you invest, during your hold, or ahead of a key leadership decision.

Back to overview

We do one thing: independent verification of the commercial engine behind the number. Not strategy advice, not a market study, not a restatement of what management already believes.

Our people have run commercial functions inside businesses that were themselves the subject of investment. That perspective is why we look at systems and behaviour first — the places where a revenue miss becomes visible months before it reaches a board pack.

The same verification applies across the ownership lifecycle: ahead of capital commitment, through the hold, at exit, and around every senior commercial hire.

Common questions

Practical questions from investors.

How is this different from commercial due diligence?: Pre-deal diligence is a single application of the same verification. We assess the revenue engine itself — systems, behaviour, outcomes — and that assessment is equally valid in year three of a hold.
What evidence do you need access to?: CRM and reporting systems, forecast and pipeline data, process documentation, and time with the commercial team. Findings are traceable to that evidence.
Can you assess a company before we hire a CRO?: Yes. Pre-Hire Commercial Readiness establishes whether the engine can support the leader you are about to appoint, before the offer goes out.
Do you report to management or to us?: To you. The diagnostic is written for the investor or board, independent of management's own account.
