Investment Research & Analytical Support Services
Perusal Global is a knowledge partner to founders, PE and VC deal teams, institutional asset managers, brokerage research desks, and CEOs navigating capital-consequential decisions. We build the financial models, write the equity research, produce the initiating coverage reports, and conduct the commercial due diligence, delivered within the client's workflow, under their name.
Where Most Investment Research Falls Short
A revenue projection taken from the management case without being stress-tested. A WACC borrowed from a sector average because calibrating it to the actual capital structure takes time. A valuation that produces the right number and then works backwards to justify it. Standard practice in most models delivered under deadline pressure.
The contrast made explicit: The Brief We Work To
Assumptions are validated against primary source data, including company filings (annual and quarterly), sector benchmarking, and primary channel research, before the model architecture is set. Every engagement is senior-led from scoping to delivery: the analyst who scopes the engagement builds the model and writes the report. The financial model and the research report are one integrated piece of work.
In 2,500+ financial models built across pre-seed rounds, mid-market M&A, and listed-company coverage, the most consequential errors we have found and fixed - were in the assumptions everyone had agreed to leave unchallenged.

Founders and CFOs preparing for a capital raise
Founders and CFOs preparing for a capital raise
Founders and CFOs preparing for a capital raise where the investor on the other side of the table will open the financial model, run their own scenarios, and ask about the assumptions on page three. A compelling deck opens the door. The model is what keeps the conversation in the room.
M&A deal teams who need a valuation and financial model
M&A deal teams who need a valuation and financial model
M&A deal teams who need a valuation and financial model that holds up when the counterparty's analyst opens it. We provide independent analytical work that stands on its own merits.

How We Work

We operate as an embedded decision support function for the research teams and investment professionals we work with. The client scopes what they need, a coverage initiation, a deal model, a due diligence report, and a fundraising package. We build it. Where it goes, what it concludes, and who it represents is the client’s lookout.
Across every service, the methodological work is integrated. A coverage initiation report and the financial model underpinning its valuation are one engagement. A commercial due diligence report and the deal model run in parallel while the qualitative findings and the quantitative assumptions inform each other as the work develops. A fundraising package is built from the financial architecture up, so every number in the deck traces to a specific model assumption. The output across all of it is coherent because the process that produced it was.
Primary source validation happens before the model architecture is set, from annual and quarterly company filings, sector benchmarking, and primary channel research. WACC is derived from the actual capital structure of the business being valued. The analyst who scopes the engagement is the one who delivers it, no context lost between scoping and execution.

How We Engage

Ad-Hoc Mandates

A defined deliverable, a clear scope, a fixed timeline. Most ad-hoc mandates are scoped and delivered within 4 to 12 weeks.

  • Transaction-ready financial models and valuation outputs
  • Pitch decks, investor presentations, and Information Memoranda
  • Initiating coverage reports and one-off equity research mandates
  • Investor return analysis: IRR, exit multiples, and scenario outcomes
  • Commercial due diligence, market and competitor intelligence, and capital allocation analysis for a specific transaction, investment decision, or portfolio review.

Ongoing Research Partnerships

A defined monthly slate with dedicated senior access. Continuous coverage, earnings cycle model maintenance, and periodic research across multiple fundraising cycles or coverage universes. Scope adjusts as mandates evolve.

  • Continuous financial model updates aligned with business performance and earnings cycles
  • Valuation structuring across funding rounds, including pre-money, post-money, cap table implications
  • Ongoing company analysis, sector research, and competitive intelligence
  • Portfolio monitoring and MIS financial tracking system maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

Management models are built from internal projections shaped for the investor conversation. Ours are built from assumptions validated independently, company filings, sector benchmarking, primary channel research, before the model architecture is set. Sensitivity analysis is a live component of the model. The brief is to survive independent scrutiny, which is a different brief from the one management is working to.

For cross-border mandates spanning US and Indian markets, the US-listed peer set serves as the valuation anchor, providing the comparable multiples and beta reference point against which the Indian entity is benchmarked. The adjustment work happens on the Indian side: Country Risk Premium additions to the discount rate, Inflation Differential normalization to make growth assumptions comparable across currency environments, and an Unlevered Beta framework adjusted for local cost of debt and liquidity premiums. For GCC mandates, the same framework applies with regional risk and liquidity adjustments specific to that capital market context.

We build valuation frameworks that scale from Seed through Pre-IPO, pre-money and post-money valuations structured around cap table implications, anti-dilution mechanics, and IRR projections. A Series A investor and a Series C investor are not underwriting the same business, and the framework reflects that at every stage.

Sophisticated investors do not fail a raise on the deck; they fail it on the model. The question worth asking a fundraising support firm is whether they understand the assumptions well enough to defend them in the room, and whether the valuation was built for the specific investor class receiving it. Polish without that foundation lasts until the first serious question. That is usually the second meeting.

Macro inputs are embedded in the model structure. Yield curve signals inform Terminal Growth Rate assumptions and recessionary scenario parameters. Monetary policy transmission effects on sector valuations are modelled explicitly. In capital-intensive sectors where the cost of debt is a primary value driver, credit-spread analysis is integrated into the model rather than appended as a commentary section.

We run shadow due diligence on the financial model before the VDR opens, bridge charts between management accounts and audited financials, documented revenue recognition and unit economics assumptions, and a model structure that pre-empts the specific questions a buy-side analyst will ask. The objective is to reduce friction in the diligence process, not produce another set of documents.

No. Perusal Global operates as a white-label analytical support partner. Everything we produce, financial models, initiating coverage reports, equity research, due diligence reports, investor materials, goes out under the client's name. For sell-side clients, research is published under the brokerage's brand and reaches their institutional investor audience without Perusal Global appearing in it. For buy-side clients, analytical outputs are used internally to support investment decision-making. We produce the work. The client owns it, publishes it, and takes responsibility for it.

A client scopes what they need, a coverage initiation, a deal model, a due diligence report, a fundraising package. We build it, working within the client's house style, publication templates, and analytical frameworks where relevant. Drafts are reviewed by the client's team. The final output is delivered in a form the client can publish or use directly. We do not make investment recommendations, we do not advise investors directly, and we do not publish independently. The analytical work is ours. The decision, the recommendation, and the client relationship belong entirely to the client.

Our client work spans the US, UK and Europe, GCC, and India. Cross-border valuation across US, India, and GCC is a particular area of depth, the Country Risk Premium adjustments, Inflation Differential normalization, and GAAP-to-IFRS reconciliations those mandates require are handled as a core part of the engagement.

For a mid-cap or growth-stage company with reasonable data availability, a full initiation report - business model deep-dive, peer benchmarking, management evaluation, earnings quality assessment, integrated financial model, and investment thesis - typically runs three to six weeks. Sector complexity and primary data access determine where in that range the engagement lands. For brokerage clients working to a publication schedule, we scope to the calendar from day one.
