Commercial Due Diligence
Lighthouse provides commercial diligence services to
Executive teams, Corporate Development functions and Private Equity firms.
We help our clients to make intelligent investment decisions by providing strategic commercial due diligence that informs the process.
We have a deep knowledge of technology businesses and understand what makes them successful. We use this understanding to assess and validate the plans of management and identify the opportunities or barriers they may face. We interview customers to gain their insights and identify the opportunities and barriers they face.
We are known for our X-ray process, which helps our clients to invest wisely by identifying the risks and opportunities they might face along this journey.
Vendor Due Diligence
We also provide our business X-Ray process to support sellers in the exit of their business.
Scenarios where vendor diligence is helpful include:
-
Disposing of part of the business, whether through a carve-out of business units or by the sale of existing entities.
-
Disposal because of restructuring/re-focusing business activities.
A vendor-led commercial due diligence process provides vendors with greater control over their sale process and the timing of sale, which can, in turn, help to secure a higher price for the business.
This is achieved by:
-
Adding credibility to and validating the facts, figures and information provided in the information memorandum.
-
A more controlled sale process, reducing disruption to the business.
-
Directing the buyer’s research toward the key value drivers, freeing up their time and providing an increased level of trust in what they are buying.
Customer Referencing
We provide customer referencing services to help our clients better understand and gain feedback about their products, services, or overall customer experience.
As part of this process, we calculate the Net Promoter Score (NPS), the overall likelihood that a customer will recommend a business, product, or service to a friend or colleague.
This process provides invaluable and honest feedback about how customers value a business's product or service. In addition, it helps to align internally held perceptions with direct customer feedback.
Competitor Benchmarking
The analysis of the competitive landscape is an essential step.
Our competitor analysis process allows you to identify who the competitors are, what their strengths and weaknesses might be relative to you (the target company). We compare their products and services and assess the barriers for entry for new competitors into different target markets.
