ExpertiseCommercial Due Diligence 

Thorough commercial due diligence is an absolute must on two fronts: To identify and mitigate any risks, but also to assess the potential for post-acquisition value creation. Our services help clients through the acquisition phase by assessing the target’s full potential to facilitate the right decisions. We take an unbiased view, follow a fact-based approach, and act quickly and purposefully to assist clients with strategy and operations.

For each investment opportunity, we explore the uniqueness and defendable position of the target’s business model, as well as its ability to satisfy the needs of our client. Assessing the market environment, competitive positioning and evolving industry dynamics, reviewing the business plan, and detecting upside opportunities through a hypothesis-driven approach are the cornerstones for validating the investment thesis.

A deep understanding of the business and industry is an essential tool in our arsenal, and one that we deploy by challenging assumptions, analyzing risks, evaluating potential opportunities, and identifying value creation levers and solid exit strategies. Our clients benefit from our long-standing expertise, also in cross-border commercial due diligence, spanning situation-specific buy-side and sell-side commercial due diligence.
