Tough choices,
high risk
The market landscape in which your company operates on a daily basis is changing faster and faster. You’re trying to stay abreast of those changes, keep up to date and make the right decisions. It’s worth having a trusted partner to support your intuition.
Do the following examples sound familiar?
We’re doing the search on our own
For three years now, you have been looking for a technology company that, when absorbed into your organisation, could significantly accelerate the digitisation of production plants across the group. How did you feel when you heard that your main competitor had acquired such a company in less than 12 months from making the decision? Trust professionals like he did. This will pay off.
We acted too fast
You trust your intuition. You were convinced that this offer was a perfect fit with your company's development plans. You believed that an audit carried out by a befriended consultant would answer all your questions. As it turned out, the audit came down to a cursory verification of reports. Now your only option is to go to court. But can you do it on your own?
Underestimated price
A bucket of cold water? Euphoria turned to rage? Can't you forgive yourself for selling so cheaply a chain of stores that took years to build? You were confident that the negotiations were going like you planned. Now you know you had underestimated the price. You were talked into dispensing with an external vendor diligence. You trusted your intuition, and now you feel bad about it. You won't make a similar mistake again. Learning costs money.
A transaction did not materialise.
A false start. Instead of getting ready to sell well, you chose to act fast. The outcome was that after the due diligence the client walked off without making an offer. What if you had prepared better before submitting your proposal? You could have made debt restructuring, consolidation and ownership changes. Things might have played out differently.
