Comprehensive Framework for Due Diligence Assessment


This PPT slide, part of the 63-slide Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) PowerPoint presentation, outlines seven critical areas of assessment that should be included in a comprehensive 50-page memo at the conclusion of the due diligence (CDD) process. Each area serves a distinct purpose, contributing to a holistic understanding of the target company and its market context.

The **Executive Summary** provides a high-level overview, emphasizing key findings and "killer issues" identified during the due diligence. It sets the stage for the detailed analyses that follow, ensuring that stakeholders grasp the essential insights quickly.

**Market Analysis** focuses on developing a perspective on the market environment. This includes identifying opportunities and risks relevant to the target company. It also involves defining both immediate and broader market conditions, which is crucial for contextualizing the target's position.

The **Competitive Environment** section assesses the relative strengths of the target company against its competitors. This involves a thorough evaluation of the competitive landscape, which is vital for understanding market dynamics and positioning.

**Analysis of Business Model** evaluates the effectiveness and robustness of the target's business model. It includes a review of past performance and projected capabilities, which helps in understanding sustainability and growth potential.

The **Analysis of Investment Case** examines management's assumptions and the viability of the business case. This includes assessing the base case and identifying further improvement potentials, which is essential for validating investment decisions.

**Upside Opportunities** explores potential value creation beyond the initial investment case. Identifying and quantifying additional levers for value creation is critical for maximizing returns.

Lastly, the **Exit Options** section provides insights on potential exit strategies after a holding period. This includes evaluating industry consolidation opportunities and identifying strategic and financial buyers, which is key for planning successful exits. Each area is interconnected, providing a comprehensive framework for decision-making.
