Private Equity / Merger & Acquisition

The Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions landscape is beset by multiple challenges that can significantly affect the success and profitability of transactions in the industry.

Due Diligence

In this phase it is crucial to understand the real value of the target, both now and in the future:

  • How well the organizational structure is able to cope with change and growth, and how well internal leadership and talent remain in their roles;
  • How well-equipped the physical and technological infrastructures are to support future strategic and operational decisions and ensure high levels of security;
  • The actual efficiency of production resources (plant, stocks) and opportunities for improvement;
  • The value of relationships with strategic suppliers and the value of the distribution network;
  • What risks or opportunities are presented by the customer base, commercial contracts and sales force value;

Value Creation

In this phase it is important to identify and know how to implement all the actions necessary for the eventual integration and business development, such as:

  • The construction of sound development strategies and structured processes for their execution;
  • Management/ evolution of the corporate culture;
  • The structuring of an industrial organization and structure adapted to new challenges;
  • The evolution of the approach to Innovation to generate a High Impact;
  • The definition of effective operating models in different business areas aligned with the competitive environment in which it operates;
  • The efficiency of business processes;
