Potential issues we can assist with:
- You are considering acquiring a company, but there is market or competitive uncertainty, such as new technologies, customers, trends, legislation or a new geographic market, and you need to know how these issues might impact the current and future value of the target.
- You are considering acquiring a company, and the revenue/EBIT projections appear to be very aggressive (relative to historic performance). You therefore need to test/validate the achievability of these projections.
- You are considering acquiring a company, and a significant proportion of the revenue/EBIT projections appear to be based upon the success of new products, customers and/or markets. You therefore need to test/validate the reasonableness of these assumptions.
- You are evaluating the target company's management assertions that the projected capex is sufficient. You therefore require an independent review of the internal consistency of revenue and capex assumptions and the robustness of the capex plan. The review will consider threats such as disruptive or new technologies, regulation or new competition.
