The Diligeo team

Who runs Diligeo,
and on what terms.

A deliberately small setup: one founder, a circle of transaction professionals, binding commitments.

01 · Core

The operational core.

Diligeo is designed and operated by Hugues Schaap, an engineer from Mines Paris (PSL) and a graduate of the Collège des Ingénieurs MBA. Two proving grounds shaped his practice: three years of systems engineering on the Hinkley Point C nuclear project (Edvance, EDF Group), where every figure is traced to its source; then pricing and contract management in group strategy at Air Liquide, where he designed internal decision-support tools built on artificial intelligence. He leads every analysis and reviews every report before delivery. Diligeo was born of that path, with one ambition: bringing large-deal analysis within reach of every SME sale. Background

02 · Circle

Business-sale specialists

How a sale actually unfolds: price framing, recurring traps, what sellers and buyers expect.

What secures a six- or seven-figure decision; the blind spots before the LOI.
