This service is routinely chosen prior to investment into a company or brand acquisition to determine if the business plan, trajectory for growth and retailer enthusiasm for the brand is adequate to sustain a growth forecast. Unlike typical investor due diligence that is financial and formula based, our team of experts will tap into the marketplace and use our expertise in company growth and sustainability to determine current business positioning as well as future opportunities for growth. In the Due Diligence Assessment™ we will compile an independent and direct assessment on the business highlighting strengths and weaknesses as well as a prioritized list of areas requiring attention in order to optimize the revenue plan. We complete the Due Diligence Assessment™ through interface with a company's customers, suppliers and management team to determine the probability of profitability, sales, and effectiveness of processes.
Topics Evaluated During the Due Diligence Assessment™:
- Current parameters and metrics of the existing distribution
- Product lineup relative to competitive landscapes within the targeted channel
- Current staff competencies in relation to funding
- Future opportunities for the brand in selected channels
- Potential OEM opportunities or licensing considerations and suggestions for implementation
- Current conditions and problem areas within operations, sales, marketing, inventory, and cash flow
- Current sales agreements and sales agent structure
- Sales cycles and inventory levels relative to forecasted sales
- Retail pricing and margin structure with retail partners
- Revenue opportunities for the brand that could be capitalized upon once funding is complete
COMPENSATION
