Strategy advisory with an investor mindset
Where we are coming from
PRIVATE markets investors create value by seeing value and -more importantly- untapped value creation potential, and then utilizing high-powered incentives to realize them. Aquisis takes a cue from this playbook to help private companies generate sustainable value for generations.
FOR an insider, key value levers may be invisible and big changes may go unnoticed when they come creeping up. Aquisis was created to combine an investor mindset, with a consultant's skillset, and an inside director's understanding of what it means to run a business.
WE conduct a 1-2 week intensive outside-in review - as we would during pre-deal target screening and evaluation. This will entail a holistic view of your business to identify its current sources of value and key value levers. At the end, we will provide initial advice on actionable next steps where to dig deeper to protect current sources of value and pull value levers.
THE above describes phase I, which can be supplemented with an optional phase II of taking the inside view.
IT'S a simple analogy: If you don't mind regularly spending a few hundred dollars to protect the value of your car (~ 0.5% of value), you surely understand that a regular check-up on your company's strategy makes sense - and will come a lot cheaper relative to the value.
Just like a physical exam or a car inspection, a strategic check-up will never find everything but you can be assured that an impartial outsider with a trained eye has evaluated your most important asset.
AQUISIS supports clients in identifying, generating, and demonstrating value.
We define value straightforwardly as the discounted value of all future cash flows. Abiding by this means asking the tough questions about long term strategy to identify high-ROIC, sustainable growth path for businesses. The value materializing when selling a business in 5 years, or passing it on to the next generation in 20 years is determined by the choices make now.
