Diligence & Deal Sourcing

Independent diligence, run the same way every time.

Independent, conflict-free diligence and deal sourcing for funds evaluating debt investments.

Scope

Nexterra provides independent diligence and deal sourcing to funds evaluating debt investments — private credit vehicles, direct lending funds, and regulated structures such as ELTIFs. Coverage spans term loans, convertible debt, and other private credit structures, with primary reach in Europe and the ability to extend into the US through UK or Irish structuring.

This is a service engagement, not a co-investment — Nexterra takes no position in the deals it diligences. Conflict screening runs as a formal step on every engagement.

Methodology

A fixed taxonomy, not a blank page.

Every engagement draws from the same set of workstreams, scoped to what actually applies to the deal. Each workstream produces findings in the same format: issue, significance, timing impact, recommended action, classification.

Credit & Financial

Cash flow, debt service coverage, historical financials against projections.

Legal & Structural

Loan documentation, security and collateral perfection, existing liens, cross-border structuring.

Commercial & Market

Sector dynamics, competitive positioning, customer concentration.

Management & Governance

Key-person risk, governance quality, track record.

Regulatory & Compliance

Sector-specific exposure — licensing, zoning and environmental, data protection.

Collateral & Asset

Valuation, title, and condition of secured assets, where applicable.

Tax

Cross-border structuring implications across the relevant jurisdictions.

Conflict Screening

Run as a documented, formal check on every deal — relationships, positions, and prior dealings with the counterparties.

Process

Four steps, every engagement.

Intake

A structured deal profile — type, size, sector, geography, timeline, and any diligence already completed.

Scoping

We determine which workstreams apply and at what depth, and return a scoping memo with fee and timeline.

Execution

Each applicable workstream is run against a standardized issue-checklist, not built from scratch per engagement.

Reporting

Findings roll up into one diligence memo: overall recommendation, material issues ranked by significance, and recommended terms.
