A single request register
Each information request has a reference, owner, source contact and target response date. Related requests can be connected so the seller receives focused questions and your advisers know which version is current.
A clear view of the unanswered questions
Sports club due diligence coordination
Due diligence works best when each question reaches the professional who can answer it. I coordinate the information flow around a sports club acquisition, helping your appointed team track requests, review status and unresolved issues without confusing a received document with professional approval.
Work directly with Jack. Scope, responsibilities and fees agreed before work begins.
Who this is for
For prospective owners or business principals who have an acquisition to investigate and need practical support across their legal, accounting, property and operational specialists. It is particularly useful when several advisers are requesting similar documents or depending on one another’s findings.
Practical work. Visible outputs.
Know what you are asking me to deliver.
Agree the immediate priorities, the people involved and the output you need to make your next decision.
A document and review log
Received, incomplete, superseded and awaiting-review items are distinguished. Access follows the agreed permissions, and professional reports remain linked to their author and stated scope.
An unresolved-issues report
A concise summary of questions still open, the decisions they affect and who needs to respond. Important gaps remain visible even if the proposed transaction timetable is moving quickly.
Connect the moving parts
The work behind the next step.
My role is to organise the agreed work and keep questions moving. Your appointed professionals remain responsible for their specialist advice.
Corporate and contractual questions
Your solicitors determine the legal investigation and transaction requirements. I organise requests relating to the agreed perimeter, ownership information, contracts and consents, and track follow-up with the authorised seller contacts.
Financial and commercial evidence
Your accounting team examines the relevant financial records, commitments and assumptions. I coordinate access to requested material and keep management explanations distinct from professional conclusions and verified records.
Property and facilities
Your property professionals assess the interests, condition and obligations relevant to the venue. I link their questions to the legal and funding workstreams, including missing documents or site-access arrangements.
Sporting and operational responsibilities
The relevant specialists review competition, people, safeguarding and operating questions within their scope. I record responsibilities and follow-up, limiting access to sensitive information to those who need it.
From first conversation to next decision
A clear route through the work.
Explore the stages we can agree together. The sequence follows the project; it is not a promised completion timetable.
Open any stage to see what it involves. You stay in control of the decisions.
Agree the investigation plan
The client and appointed specialists identify their scope and priorities. We agree the coordination role, reporting recipients and authority to request information.
Create the request register
Combine the agreed requests without removing specialist questions. Give each item a responsible adviser and identify dependencies or potential duplication.
Track the evidence
Log documents and responses with dates and versions. Route each item for review rather than treating its arrival as closure.
Escalate unresolved matters
Prepare a regular open-issues meeting and record the professional advice, further evidence or client decision needed to progress each point.
Hand over the decision record
Provide the final coordination summary and outstanding actions. Only the responsible professionals can confirm the conclusions of their own investigations.
Illustrative brief · not a client case study
Illustrative proposed engagement: making review status visible
The situation
A buyer’s solicitor and accountant have received documents through different email chains. The buyer cannot easily distinguish unanswered questions from material awaiting professional review.
The work to agree
A proposed assignment would consolidate the request register, reference the current documents, assign review owners and prepare an exception report before the next adviser meeting.
A useful output
The intended output is an organised evidence and decision trail, with no suggestion that coordination certifies the information or clears the acquisition. This is an illustrative brief rather than a client case.

Before we begin
Questions worth asking.
Start with the objective and your current stage. We can work out the practical scope together.
Do you perform the due diligence?
I coordinate the agreed work. Legal, accounting, valuation, property and other specialist investigations are performed by the appropriately appointed professionals. My action register is not a legal opinion, audit or due diligence sign-off.
Link to this answerWhat happens when the seller cannot answer a question?
The question stays open with its significance assessed by the relevant adviser. I record the next action and escalate the dependency; I do not substitute an assumption or treat silence as acceptance.
Link to this answerCan you work with an existing data room?
Yes, subject to permission and the agreed scope. We can use the existing system and naming conventions, with access limited to the authorised team. A new platform is not automatically necessary.
Link to this answerShould I upload confidential papers to the enquiry form?
No. Start with a general outline and the coordination problem. Once an engagement and permissions are agreed, sensitive transaction, financial or personal records can follow through the appropriate secure route.

These sources explain the wider context. Rules depend on the organisation, entity and transaction and, for sports clubs, the sport and competition. Confirm the current position with the appointed specialists.
A useful first conversation
What needs to move forward?
A short outline is enough: the objective, the current position and the date you are working towards.
A clearly agreed role. You retain commercial and investment decisions. Consultancy does not include legal, tax or regulated investment advice, a funding guarantee, or handling client money. Where a transaction needs regulated corporate finance, investment or other specialist advice, the appropriate professional must be appointed separately. Mortgage and protection advice is a separate engagement through Mortgage Force (UK) Ltd.
