THE CHALLENGE
A rapid assessment for a time-critical purchase decision.
A German automobile club was offered an OEM proving ground as a potential alternative to its ongoing testing center development project. Given the short decision window, the client needed a rapid but structured assessment of technical feasibility, contractual risks, commercial potential and financial attractiveness.
OUR APPROACH
Focused due diligence across technical, commercial and financial dimensions.
The due diligence combined technical, commercial and financial assessment in a focused workstream. Activities included review of available asset data, analysis of contractual structures, expert interviews, benchmark comparisons, identification of key value drivers and red flags, and development of simplified base and downside cases.
THE OUTCOME
An informed top-management decision.
The work delivered a holistic due diligence report highlighting key opportunities, risks and potential pitfalls, including an indication of the asset's financial strength. The output enabled top management to make an informed decision on whether to pursue the acquisition.
