Transaction & Private equity

Strategic due diligence work for investment funds must now include a strong digital component, whether the assets under consideration are themselves natively digital or not. Beyond market considerations, the study of strategic assets and challenging the business plan, strategic reviews must also pay specific attention to:

• The potential new avenues of growth made possible by digital technology and AI and their ROI potential, both in terms of the bottom line and the exit multiple for the investor,
• The data and digital disruptions that the target will face,
• More specifically, new customer expectations and the new actors of the ecosystems in which the target is a part,
• The consistency between the target’s assets, on the one hand, and the developments and opportunities identified, on the other hand.

These disruptions, like these new players, are both significant development opportunities strengthening EBITDA and asset valuation, and risk factors that must be assessed and mitigated. Beyond their financial impact, such opportunities also contribute to a positive dialogue with management during the transactional process.
