Corporate Development
Effective Corporate Development rests on understanding how the true value potential of a business may differ under the strategies and capabilities of different owners, and how to price that into decision-making
WHAT TO EXPECT
We work directly with your team to develop a dynamic financial model, looking at various scenarios to assess the economics of the investment, determine the key drivers and provide reasonable assumption ranges by benchmarking to internal and peer performance data. By analyzing key factors like revenue growth, margins, asset efficiency and headroom for reinvestment, we develop a warranted value for an asset under current or new ownership and then solve for an appropriate transaction price. Our objective view of value provides clients with the confidence to either move forward on a deal or have the discipline to walk away.
