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 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; etc.
