Pre-DD
360° scan of asset attractiveness
aquısıs‘ core competence is in outside-in analysis of business quality.
Say, you have a handful of promising targets left after a thorough screening, but not yet ready to commit to the full process. A pre-DD gives you an impartial expert judgment whether a target could be interesting (and why) after one week. You will get a fact-based outside-in assessment of a company strength and weaknesses, its market positioning, competitors, long-term growth outlook and initial value levers.
Target Screening
Find exactly the asset you are looking for
A structured process to identify promising target companies avoids crowded bidding processes and is more conducive to high conviction investments. aquısıs supports you along the way - whether you have a hunch about about growth pockets in a dying industry, or have already settled on a subindustry but need a comprehensive structured long- and short list.
Benchmarking
Continuously track performance differentials
Benchmarking is not only a core part of (pre-)DD analysis but can -and should- be a recurring exercise for your own or your portfolio companies. Where have performance gaps been closed? Is your asset's gross margin still best in class? Have competitors been faster at scaling down SG&A?
