Investment Due Diligence

Our clients regularly hire us to evaluate potential investments for them.

Public and Private equity purchases
Many of our clients use our services when they are considering purchasing a large share of a company or an entire company in the public or private markets:

Forensic accounting including analyzing quality of revenues, quality of earnings, quality of cash flow coverage, analysis of potential off balance sheet liabilities, etc.
Analysis of the company's competitive position within the respective industry. We will actually speak with customers and see if customers are happy with the company's products and services. We will also speak with the company's competitors and get their opinion on the firm. Finally, we will speak with the company's officers ourselves.
It is being in the right place at the right time, and knowing how to exploit the right place at the right time that creates lasting success in companies. The quality of management is probably the most important factor that drives the success of a company. As part of our equity due diligence, we will do an assessment of the management team.
