FCI's transaction practice runs the work that gets a deal across the finish line — M&A advisory, due diligence, valuation, strategic capital, and post-merger integration. End to end, under one team, with the federal contractor specifics handled where they apply.
FCI's transaction practice covers the full deal lifecycle — from market positioning through Day-100 integration — with the federal contractor specifics handled where they apply. Customers come to us for any of these service lines, or for the full lifecycle under one engagement.
The strategy and process work that runs a transaction — from deal thesis through definitive agreements. Embedded with your team, owning the work, not handing it off.
The diligence streams that surface the risks the deal team needs to price — financial, commercial, operational, IT, and HR — coordinated as one workstream, not five.
The numbers that hold up across the table — defensible models, scenario analysis, Quality of Earnings work, and the cost-volume rigor federal contracting requires.
The capital architecture behind ambition — beyond a single transaction. EBITDA unlock, grant capture, concession negotiation, and the alternative capital structures that fund mission-driven plans.
The work that turns a closed deal into a working business — Day-100 plans, integration management, synergy realization, and clean separations on the divestiture side.
The transaction work that's different when the target holds federal contracts, cleared personnel, or sensitive data. The specifics that derail deals when nobody on the team knows to look for them.
The FCI Capital Flywheel is the methodology behind every transaction engagement we run. Each stop reinforces the next — and every deliverable traces back to where it came from.

Most M&A engagements get fragmented — one firm writes the CIM, another models the deal, a third runs the auction, a fourth handles integration. Decisions made at one stop don't survive the handoff to the next.
The Capital Flywheel is the opposite. The team that builds the positioning writes the materials, builds the model, orchestrates the partner network, and stays through Day-100 integration. The thesis you started with is the thesis the funded business inherits.
And the partner network is real — investment banks for the auction layer, QoE firms for the financial diligence stamp, grant captors for federal and philanthropic capital, IT diligence specialists for the systems work. FCI keeps the network coordinated; you don't run point on five separate vendors.
"More than a business plan. FCI delivered end-to-end M&A advisory: investor-ready Business and Execution Plan, full financial modeling, US site-selection analysis, brand and digital presence, marketing assets, and close strategic advisory through capital-partner negotiations. The concept went from idea to fully-funded close — because the materials, the numbers, and the partner orchestration were institutional-grade from day one."
