Pre-acquisition scan

If an acquisition proposition fits within your focus, you may start spending (precious) time on it. In that case, prior to a letter of intent, or at the start / as part of a due diligence, Kruger Corporate Finance's ‘Pre-acquisition scan’ is extremely effective and (cost-)efficient.

Our Pre-acquisition scan is based on our many years of involvement in (sales) acquisition processes, but especially in carrying out ‘business reviews’.

The scan involves an analysis of the target's (business) situation. The following topics are addressed:

  • A substantive and business validation of the (presented) business case
  • Analysis of composition, status and expectations of operations, balance sheet and liquidity
  • Attention to competitive position and benchmark, industry-specific topics
  • An objective assessment of the professionalism and quality level of information, organisation and management.

We are used to doing this in a short turnaround time, creating new insights and reporting and presenting clearly and concisely to management and financiers.

What does the Pre-acquisition scan give you?

  • A completely independent professional assessment of the proposition with real (business) insight
  • The investment decision and valuation are better substantiated early in the process: go/no-go
  • Contributes to the focus of further research/due diligence and limitation of its scope and costs
  • A more focused LOI, insight into issues
  • Rationalisation of potential and preconditions
