InvestmentDue DiligenceAssessment
The Challenge
An investor, family office, or corporate is considering acquiring or taking a significant stake in a business. The target looks attractive on the surface but the acquirer lacks the internal capability to conduct a rigorous assessment of the business's true position — commercial viability, operational health, financial integrity, and strategic fit. Making the wrong decision at this stage is expensive and difficult to reverse.
Our Approach
1.Commercial assessment — evaluate the target's market position, competitive dynamics, customer concentration, revenue quality, and growth assumptions.
2.Financial review — analyse historical financials, working capital dynamics, profitability drivers, and the reliability of management accounts.
3.Operational assessment — assess the management team, organisational structure, key person dependencies, and operational processes.
4.Risk identification — identify the key risks across commercial, financial, operational, legal, and regulatory dimensions and assess their materiality.
5.Strategic fit analysis — evaluate how well the target fits the acquirer's strategic objectives, capabilities, and portfolio.
6.Investment recommendation — produce a structured assessment report with a clear recommendation, key conditions, and suggested deal structure considerations.
