What do we do for you?

Why is it useful?

Whether evaluating possible mergers or acquisitions, or gaining insight into a company already in your portfolio, we provide a fast and economical way to understand the commercial strengths and weaknesses of a manufacturing company. Our highly-experienced manufacturing business experts conduct carefully crafted interviews with key commercial staff to uncover important data and subjective outlooks that point to the overall business health.

• We evaluate the commercial engine health of potential acquisitions or portfolio company

The toughest area to evaluate in a company is usually the commercial side of the business. Things you need to know are not always shown in the numbers. How strong are the marketing, sales, and service departments? Are they gaining or losing market share, and why? Get the inside scoop – the staff has been competing in their market for years, or decades, and they know their company’s strengths and weaknesses. Our approach will uncover manager and leadership views of their current and future business potential. We talk their language, and will uncover and organize their information for you.
