COMMERCIAL ASSESSMENT & CDD
M&A consulting: Strategic analysis for maximum success
As M&A consultants, we support our clients in the detailed examination of a target company from a market, customer and competitive perspective, evaluate future growth and cost-saving options and identify the strategic fields of action for the precise utilisation of all potential.
Problem
Producing bankable appraisals based on high-quality analytics is not enough – only with genuine industry knowledge, an experienced team and a strong network of experts can the relevant issues for equity and value creation stories be narrowed down and discussed early in the process.
Buy Side Due Diligence
We support investors in the detailed examination of possible acquisitions, evaluate future growth and cost saving areas and point out the strategic fields of action for the precise utilisation of all potentials.
Problem
The objective, transparent analysis and presentation of historical performance, the business plan and the relevant opportunities and risks is important – however, in the sales process, fast, precise and uncomplicated cooperation with a meaningful contact person is central.
Vendor Side Due Diligence
We support investors in developing the equity story, which reconciles the historical performance and capabilities of the company and the people involved. In addition, we validate the business plan through an objective review and assessment of the plan.
