Common questions

Strategy & transactions FAQ.

What does strategy and transactions work include?
Market and growth strategy, commercial due diligence, deal value-creation plans, and post-merger integration — the analytical spine of corporate decisions with money on the line.
How is commercial due diligence different from financial DD?
Financial DD validates the numbers as reported; commercial DD tests whether the market, customers and competitive position can sustain them. Acquirers need both — they fail for different reasons.
When should integration planning start?
Before signing — synergy assumptions priced into the deal need owners, timelines and dependencies mapped pre-close, or they quietly become goodwill impairments.
