Orr & Boss is often retained by private equity funds and strategic buyers of companies to conduct a "competitive gut check" related to a potential acquisition target. In other words, the acquirer may have its in-house staff perform the necessary financial and accounting due diligence of the target, but a deeper layer of market and competitive analysis is often required.
Orr & Boss’ services are useful to acquirers in the following ways:
-
To conduct a “voice of the customer” analysis of the target company
-
To provide an independent validation of the size of the target’s market share
-
To perform an operations or technology S-W-O-T assessment
-
To conduct a risk analysis associated with the acquisition
