Do you plan to grow your business through a purchase, merger or strategic partnership with another company? Are you thinking about potential candidates for acquisition? Or are you convinced that you have already found the best option? A commercial due diligence can make you decision an very well informed one.
Weak awareness of the details of the business you are buying or integrating with quickly turns a deal into a very expensive one. When deciding on a merger or acquisition, it is important for you to know how the current and future performance figures are, and what happens with the market.
When deciding on a deal, you need to understand the impact of the market and competition on the value of the company, have a realistic cash flow forecast with feasibility analysis, and be sure that your revenue and cost drivers are reliable.
For the success of the conceived association, it is important to conduct a commercial due diligence and find accurate answers to the following questions:
- How to choose the right company for an acquisition from several options?
- How to assess the potential of the company to be acquired?
- What is the expected return on a deal in a long run?
- What is the optimal deal structure?
I can help to assess the potential of the target company, considering all costs, including reorganization and integration of the new business, calculate the synergy potential of the partnership/merger and develop a detailed step-by-step plan of its implementation, correctly assess dropping out profits of the acquired business, find options to maximize synergies and choose the best option to proceed. I also help to avoid wrong decisions, usually overly optimistic, when preparing for a deal.
If necessary, I can help with all aspects of commercial due diligence: transaction as well as with the implementation of the integration plan, accurately correcting deviations and avoiding pitfalls.
