When Purchasing a Company
Customer Insights before you Acquire
Know why your customers buy. Know why your employees stay. Understand operating model risk before you acquire that company.
Improve your M&A Outcomes
Get real customer insights to inform your quality of earnings.
We've all seen the transactions that look great on paper, that fail to deliver the value promised.Have you been burned by:
1. Mis-aligned operating models;
2. Failing to appreciate why customers buy;
3. Making bad assumptions on customer or employee retention; or,
4. Assuming the current platform is superior?
Current customer and employee due diligence fails to provide you with actionable insights, leaves you with residual risk, and destroys value post-close.
We provide
Anonymous, independent customer and employee insights
Does the owner want to keep the transaction a secret?Do you want objectivity in your customer and employee due diligence?Inform the risks associated with the transaction, or inform the price you're willing to pay.
Focus on what you're great at, and where you add the most value in the transaction. We'll do the same.
