the challenge

A PE sponsor needed to underwrite a complex carve-out from a global financial institution on a compressed timeline, evaluating many capital-structure options and operating scenarios while maintaining the accuracy required for investment-committee approval and lender negotiations.

what they built

QuantFi built a dynamic deal model with Base, Upside, and Downside operating scenarios; flexible capital-structure modules to toggle debt sizing, rates, and repayment profiles; return waterfalls modeling gross and net IRR/MOIC across sponsor, management, and co-investor tranches; and a standalone cost model isolating stranded overhead and go-forward economics.

The model let the deal team flex capital structures and scenarios in real time, isolate stranded costs, and move from LOI to a fully diligenced model in two weeks.
