Adopting an Investor Mindset for Business Evaluation PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) - Process Elements PowerPoint presentation, emphasizes the importance of adopting an investor's mindset when evaluating business opportunities. It is structured around 3 critical questions: potential downside, value creation opportunity, and exit opportunities. Each question is paired with specific objectives and considerations that guide decision-making.

The first question, "What is the potential downside?" focuses on identifying deal breakers and assessing management projections. It highlights the necessity of recognizing unacceptable risks and distinguishing between typical downsides and those that could derail a deal. This approach ensures that potential pitfalls are adequately addressed before proceeding.

The second question, "What is the value creation opportunity?" shifts the focus to quantifiable and realistic opportunities. It stresses the importance of understanding how much these opportunities are worth and the competitive advantage they could provide. The note that investors favor upside potential suggests that a thorough analysis of growth prospects is crucial for attracting investment.

Lastly, "Are there good exit opportunities?" prompts consideration of future business scenarios and market evolution. It encourages thinking about the potential exit strategy and the timing of such an exit. This foresight is essential for aligning with investor expectations and maximizing returns.

Overall, the slide serves as a framework for evaluating business prospects through an investor's lens, ensuring that all critical factors are considered. This mindset not only aids in identifying viable opportunities, but also prepares the business for future growth and exit strategies.
