Aquisis employs bespoke analysis to uncover strengths and enhance performance

We firmly believe in first conducting a Big Picture assessment before investing in any specific initiatives. Our outside-in, structured, and modular assessment process is meticulously designed to uncover a company’s core strengths and identify opportunities for value creation. This approach provides a comprehensive evaluation, ensuring that all aspects of your organization’s performance are analyzed to maximize potential.

Value creation plan & Execution
Let's get to work in creating value

With roughly half of IRR coming from operational value creation (not counting resulting multiple expansion), designing a robust but pragmatic value creation plan is top priority - as is making sure it stays on track. With first-hand value creation experience both in PE and in corporates, Aquisis supports you from setting up the plan through to execution and project oversight.

Pre-DD
Pre-DD
360° scan of asset attractiveness

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-to-two weeks. You will get a fact-based outside-in assessment of company strengths 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. Aquisis 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
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?
