Strategic Planning

Evaluate current financial health, cash flow, and capital structure to determine the ability to support a deal. This may involve internal audits, valuation analysis, and preparing financial documentation for transparency.
Research Target Industry
Analyze market dynamics, competition, regulatory environment, and emerging trends within the target sector.This research helps to identify risks and growth opportunities that could impact the deal’s success.
Target List Building

Target Outreach
