BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
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 presentation explains the full CDD process. We outline a 4-phase process to CDD, within the broader 5-phase Direct Investment Value Chain.
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 includes Advisors & Roles, types of CDD projects, Buyer Profiles, Transaction Types, among others. This document also includes relevant template slides for you to use in your own presentations.
