Due
Diligence / M&A Advisory Services
| A
Confidential M&A advisory engagement
is typically initiated by boards, bankers, or top management
for the following scenarios: |
|
|
Shopping
for a bargain on a technology portfolio to complement
their firm's existing product lines. |
|
|
Evaluating
a potential investment / acquisition of a product line
that will complement an existing business unit. |
|
|
Evaluating
a would-be investment / acquisition of a product line
that will substantially replace an existing business unit.
|
|
|
Determining
the best fit for an "acquirable" new product
line within an existing business. |
|
|
Evaluating
a potential investment / acquisition of a product line
that will become an entirely new line of business. |
Evaluating
a potential acquisition is a disastrous distraction for
the acquisitive firm. Regardless of the likely benefits
of an acquisition, the complex agendas that come into play
with an internal review of a target firm can detract substantially
from the payback of a deal.
A successful M&A or strategic investment deal will involve
only top management and will minimally distract other executives.
We have developed a confidential turnkey review package
to provide acquisitive firms with the timely and unbiased
information they need to value and properly execute a deal.
The entire review is completed in one month or less. Typical
due diligence engagement details are available for download

What
is due diligence?
|
|
Due
diligence (DD) is the process of making sure that things
are as they appear. In an M&A situation everyone gets
excited and there is tremendous pressure to get to a deal.
Think of DD as pre-marital background check and counseling.
It’s not always nice, but mergers are a lot more difficult
to dissolve than a marriage.
