The initial phase is to identify a long-list that fits the profile outlined by the client. It usually falls into one of two categories: a direct competitor business that has the same business offering but in an alternative market, or an indirect competitor business which has a different business offering but is active in the same market as the client.

Uncover greater depth of information and detail, whilst assessing if the business is a viable target. When this phase concludes, a more detailed report on shortlisted companies will be prepared and presented for discussion and decision-making. This report will include market data, competition analysis, and assess both key personnel and management capabilities.

Direct mediation with both key stake/shareholders and the senior management of those organisations to introduce the concept of acquisition, major shareholding, joint venture or other business relationship; including a licensing agreement or patent purchase. We do not offer a financial due diligence service.
