COMMERCIAL DUE DILIGENCE

See the business clearly before you commit.

Commercial due diligence for acquisitions, investments, partnerships and strategic transactions — assessing market position, competitive strength, operating resilience and commercial risk before decisions are made.

Acquisitions Investments Partnerships Transactions
BEYOND THE NUMBERS

Financial performance tells part of the story. Commercial due diligence looks further.

Commercial due diligence examines how a business performs within its market, what supports its competitive position and which commercial factors could affect the value or viability of a proposed transaction.

The objective is not simply to identify risk, but to give decision-makers a clearer view of the assumptions behind the opportunity before capital, ownership or strategic commitments are made.

POSITION How the business sits within its market.

RESILIENCE What supports sustainable operations.

EXPOSURE Where commercial assumptions or risks sit.
REVIEW FRAMEWORK

The commercial picture, reviewed from multiple angles.

The scope of each review depends on the transaction and the questions that need to be answered. These are the core commercial areas typically considered as part of the assessment.

01
MARKET

Market Analysis

Market size, positioning, demand drivers, sector dynamics and the commercial environment surrounding the target business.

02
COMPETITION

Competitive Landscape

Competitive position, differentiation, market share considerations and the strength of the business relative to alternative providers.

03
OPERATIONS

Operational Review

Operating model, management structure, key processes, dependencies and factors that may affect business continuity.

04
RELATIONSHIPS

Customers & Suppliers

Customer concentration, supplier reliance, key commercial relationships and dependencies that could influence performance.

05
OUTLOOK

Growth & Commercial Outlook

Growth assumptions, commercial opportunities, underlying risks and the factors supporting the forward outlook of the business.
