This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) - Areas of Assessment PowerPoint presentation, outlines 7 critical areas of assessment necessary for a comprehensive Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) process. Each area serves a distinct purpose in evaluating the target company and its market positioning.
The first area, "Executive Summary," emphasizes the need to summarize key findings, focusing on significant issues that could impact the decision-making process. It also suggests providing an overview of other investigative components and detailing the scope of analysis, including sources and interviews conducted.
"Market Analysis" follows, where the goal is to develop a perspective on the market environment. This involves identifying opportunities and risks pertinent to the target company, alongside defining the immediate and broader market attractiveness.
The "Competitive Environment" area focuses on understanding the competitive dynamics at play. This includes assessing the target company's relative strength and its position within the competitive landscape.
Next is the "Analysis of Business Model," which evaluates the robustness and attractiveness of the target's business model. This section also analyzes past performance and capabilities.
The "Analysis of Investment Case" provides insights into management's assumptions and identifies areas for potential improvement. It assesses the base case and reasonable further enhancements while considering associated risks.
"Upside Opportunities" addresses the potential for value creation beyond the initial investment case. This section identifies and quantifies additional value levers that could be tapped during the holding period.
Lastly, "Exit Options" offers a perspective on potential exit strategies after a holding period of 3 to 5 years. It evaluates industry consolidation opportunities and assesses potential strategic and financial buyers.
This structured approach ensures a thorough evaluation, aiding decision-makers in understanding the target's viability and future prospects.
