1. Executive Summary
2. Market Analysis

This PPT slide outlines critical components of a market analysis for identifying macro-economic opportunities and risks. The "Business Definition" section distinguishes between the immediate market—specific segments and geographic areas—and the broader market that influences them, essential for assessing company exposure to market conditions. "Market Drivers" examines demand factors like consumer preferences, regulatory changes, and economic growth, alongside supply pressures from competitors, new entrants, and technological advancements, highlighting the complexity of market interactions. "Market Attractiveness" evaluates the immediate market's appeal based on historical, current, and future conditions regarding profitability and growth potential, considering industry characteristics and structural elements impacting performance. This framework aids due diligence for investors assessing the target company's viability and risks.
This PPT slide outlines 7 key areas of assessment in the Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) process, centered around the "Executive Summary" for synthesizing findings. The hexagonal sections include: "Market Analysis," which evaluates current conditions and growth potential; "Competitive Environment," assessing dynamics among competitors; "Analysis of Business Model," focusing on value creation and sustainability; "Analysis of Investment Case," examining financial implications and returns; "Exit Options," exploring divestment pathways; and "Upside Opportunities," identifying growth avenues. These interconnected areas form a comprehensive evaluation of a business opportunity.
This PPT slide outlines 7 critical areas for a comprehensive Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) process.
1. Executive Summary: Summarizes key findings and significant issues affecting decision-making, detailing the scope of analysis, sources, and interviews.
2. Market Analysis: Develops insights on market opportunities and risks, defining immediate and broader market attractiveness.
3. Competitive Environment: Assesses competitive dynamics, evaluating the target company's relative strength and position.
4. Analysis of Business Model: Evaluates the robustness of the target's business model, including past performance and capabilities.
5. Analysis of Investment Case: Provides insights into management's assumptions and identifies areas for improvement, assessing base case and potential enhancements.
6. Upside Opportunities: Identifies and quantifies additional value levers for value creation beyond the initial investment case.
7. Exit Options: Evaluates potential exit strategies after 3 to 5 years, considering industry consolidation opportunities and potential buyers.
This structured approach aids decision-makers in evaluating the target's viability and future prospects.
This PPT slide explores value creation opportunities for private equity firms beyond the existing investment case. It identifies 3 key subcomponents:
1. Identification of Further Upside Opportunities involves exploring value creation levers such as industry consolidation, geographic market expansion, and product diversification, alongside operational improvements through internal efficiency analysis and benchmarking data.
2. Deliverability of Upside Opportunities assesses the feasibility of these options, prioritizing them based on their likelihood of success.
3. Potential Realization of Upside Options emphasizes a structured 100-day improvement plan to actualize opportunities, ensuring actionable outcomes.
This framework aids private equity firms in systematically evaluating and capitalizing on growth avenues, enhancing due diligence processes.
