NorthFind Management.Experts in OperationsDue Diligence
Too many enterprises engage in M&A as a paper-based exercise, without effective operational validation in the field. That can result in reduced value, inaccurate analyses, duplication of assets, gross inefficiencies and worse. Many organizations don’t have the in-house expertise to drill down through the details and perform a comprehensive evaluation of the upside and the downside. Others are better off focusing on their core competencies, conducting business as usual while the proper analysis and consequent activity are underway.
The consequences of overlooking critical factors in a merger or acquisition are substantial. Are there invisible assets that affect the valuation of the business that have not been properly examined? What are the criteria for passing on the deal, and what is the exit strategy? How do the opportunities outweigh the risk? What is the status of the working capital, the inventory, are there supplier synergies? These are just a few of the questions our clients bring us in to answer. And they often retain NorthFind Management to shepherd the entire process through to a successful conclusion.
