Mission analysis
Before any model is named: where you actually fly, how often, with how many people and how much luggage. Most poor purchases are a mission mismatch rather than a bad aircraft.
Market search
Listed and off-market inventory across Europe and North America, shortlisted on total cost of ownership rather than sticker price.
Records review
Logbooks, airworthiness directives, damage history, engine programme status and back-to-birth traceability. This is where value is found or lost.
Pre-purchase inspection
Facility selection, scope definition and on-site oversight, with discrepancies priced and negotiated rather than merely listed.
Closing
Escrow, registration, import and VAT structuring with your advisers, delivery acceptance and handover to an operator or management company.
Below roughly 200 hours a year, ownership rarely wins.
Fixed costs do not care whether you fly. Crew salaries, hangarage, insurance, maintenance programmes and depreciation continue regardless, and on light utilisation they can double the effective hourly cost against chartering the same category.
We run that comparison against your real flight profile before you commit. Sometimes the honest recommendation is not to buy — and we would rather say it at the analysis stage than after the wire has cleared.

Modelled against your actual routes and utilisation. A headline range for this is close to meaningless.
