Finance & Commercial
The commercial questions a board or a founder actually has to answer: what this costs, what it returns, whether the numbers hold, and whether the business is ready to be funded or sold.
What this covers
This capability draws on startup finance and CFO-level work inside companies that were built from the ground up and scaled, some of which were later sold for multi-million-dollar sums.

When to bring us in
A model that has stopped being believable. A finance function that grew by accretion rather than design. A raise or a sale on the horizon and no clean view of the numbers. A cost base nobody can explain line by line. A board asking for reporting the current system cannot produce.
How this work runs
Your point of contact is always a Principal, and which Principal depends on the work and the stage it has reached. That Principal scopes the engagement, coordinates the work and remains accountable for it. Delivery is carried out by the Principals, by trusted consultants, or by both. Current specialist capability includes risk, fraud risk and anti-money laundering. Engagements are scoped to what an organisation needs in order to operate soundly: what the exposures are, what controls should exist, and what evidence a reviewer will expect to see.
Outside scope. Sagetor provides commercial and finance advisory to organisations. We do not provide personal financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, audit or personal investment advice, and nothing here should be read as an offer of those services.
