Streamline Commercial Due Diligence with a Flexible, Budget-Smart Approach

In Commercial Due Diligences (CDD), balancing comprehensive insights with budget efficiency is key. For M&A teams and consulting firms alike, a hybrid approach - where strategic tasks are retained in-house and research-intensive elements are outsourced - delivers high-impact results. Here’s how this model benefits both:

  1. Strategic Efficiency: Keeping decision-critical activities internal or within consulting teams maintains control while outsourcing research tasks (e.g., market and competitor insights) ensures high-quality data without the premium costs of full-scale consulting
  2. Flexible Workforce Access: For consulting firms, partnering for research provides flexibility. Scale up workforce capabilities when needed, meeting project demands without overextending resources
  3. Maximized Budget Impact: Both M&A teams and consulting firms can target research funds effectively, selecting modular insights - such as competitive benchmarking - focusing only on what’s essential for the project, avoiding unnecessary costs

We′re working together with internal M&A teams as well as consulting companies like Berylls and Kearney. Happy to have a chat!



Maximizing Exit Value: The Power of Operational Excellence in M&A

According to David Edgar , the best M&A outcomes are a result of operational excellence rather than financial maneuvers. With higher interest rates, companies can no longer rely on inflated asset values to boost exit prices. Instead, the focus shifts to strengthening core operations, expanding market share, optimizing margins, and strategically reallocating portfolios to build genuine value.

Key approaches include fortifying supply chains, managing interest rate risks, and driving growth through innovation—proving that operational discipline, not short-term financial tactics, is key to maximizing exit value in today’s market.
