Business case
Our client, a private equity fund, needed support to prepare strategic due diligence and perform a critical BP review on one of the leaders in European childcare with an international presence across 10+ countries and more than 800 centres.
Our critical review of the regulatory dynamics and business plan was essential to our client, ensuring all key aspects were thoroughly examined for all the geographies analysed. Subsequently, the deal was successfully signed and closed.
We reviewed the target company’s key markets (France, Germany, USA and Singapore), analysing market dynamics, regulations and competition, and also conducted data due diligence. Further, we challenged the business plan assumptions and value creation drivers (including occupancy rates, commercialisation rates, prices per place, etc.). We provided key financial assumptions to the client and modelling team to refine the valuation model and finalise the bid.
