buy-side

What problem does it solve?

The buy-side process for corporate development is complex and time-consuming; this skill provides a structured, repeatable framework to identify, evaluate, and structure acquisitions to maximize value.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Target screening and shortlisting: Filter a broad target universe to 3-5 high-potential targets based on strategic fit, financials, and deal feasibility.
• Standalone valuation and synergy modeling: Perform DCF, comps, precedent transactions, and LBO analyses; quantify potential cost and revenue synergies and model integration outcomes.
• Due diligence framework and integration planning: Establish financial, commercial, operational, legal, and tax diligence playbooks; define pre-close integration activities and 100-day plans to capture planned synergies.
• Use Case: A corporate development team identifies eight targets, narrows to three, and builds a preliminary offer strategy with a synergy map and integration plan.

Quick Start

Provide a target universe and run through a complete buy-side evaluation to generate a short-list and an initial valuation.
