DESCRIPTION
Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) is the process undertaken before a transaction is finalized to evaluate the target/investment and attain a high degree of confidence in the assumptions (e.g., financial, operational) underlying the bid. This process is important to acquiring companies as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics, competitive landscape, and customer needs related to a potential acquisition or investment. CDD aids in making informed strategic decisions, optimizing investment outcomes, and mitigating the likelihood of unexpected post-transaction challenges.
More specifically, Due Diligence will do the following:
Give the acquirer an idea of the target management's capabilities.
Bring to light major risks and problems at the target—so called "skeletons in the closet."
Identify upsides.
For these reasons, it's crucial to follow a robust, proven approach to conducting Due Diligence. This PowerPoint presentation explains the full CDD process. We outline a 4-phase process to CDD (within the broader 5-phase Direct Investment Value Chain):
1. Initial Screening
2. First Round Bid
3. Shortlist
4. Exclusivity
This framework is developed within the advisory perspective of a management consulting firm, although it can also be used directly by the buying company. The deliverable produced at the end of the CDD engagement should cover 7 areas of assessment:
1. Executive Summary
2. Market Analysis
3. Competitive Environment
4. Analysis of Business Model
5. Analysis of Investment Case
6. Upside Opportunities
7. Exit Opportunities
The Due Diligence Process has 9 key elements:
1. Workplan
2. Milestones
3. Ideal Team Structure
4. Problem Solving Tips
5. Data Gathering Tips
6. Process Tips (Planning, Modeling)
7. Data Room
8. Management Presentations
9. Mindset
Additional topics discussed include Advisors & Roles, Types of CDD Projects, Buyer Profiles, Transaction Types, among others. This deck also includes relevant template slides for you to use in your own business presentations.
This presentation covers the critical aspects of initial screening, including preliminary evaluation, investment memorandum review, and first round review. It also delves into advisor roles, key success factors, and the importance of managing these effectively to ensure a smooth CDD process.
