Structured Approach to Initial Investment Screening PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 16-slide Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) - Due Diligence Process PowerPoint presentation, outlines the initial screening process for direct investment, detailing 3 key activities: Conduct Preliminary Evaluation, Produce Investment Memorandum Review, and Conduct First Round Review with Decision Makers. Each activity is accompanied by specific key tasks and estimated timeframes, providing a structured approach to investment assessment.

The first activity, Conduct Preliminary Evaluation, emphasizes the need for a swift review of the company's business and management structure. A standardized one-page summary of the investment opportunity must be completed within 48 hours, facilitating a timely decision on whether to proceed. Assigning a core team of 2-3 individuals to the deal is also highlighted, ensuring focused attention on the opportunity.

Next, the Produce Investment Memorandum Review involves a more comprehensive analysis. A 5- to 7-page memo is to be completed within one week, summarizing key issues, opportunities, and preliminary assessments. This phase includes gathering detailed feedback from other team members within 2 to 3 days and conducting a “beat-up” session with both internal and external stakeholders. This collaborative discussion aims to challenge assumptions and explore potential downside scenarios, ensuring a thorough evaluation.

The final activity, Conduct First Round Review with Decision Makers, focuses on circulating a revised investment memo for approval to proceed with in-depth due diligence. This step is crucial as it consolidates insights from previous evaluations and aligns decision-makers on the next steps, which should be completed within 1 to 2 days.

Overall, the slide presents a clear, methodical approach to initial investment screening, emphasizing speed, collaboration, and thoroughness in evaluation.
