Business case
Our client, a leading French real estate developer, was considering the acquisition of a comparable company. The client engaged us to conduct buy-side due diligence, develop a business plan (including post-transaction impacts), value the company and provide support during negotiations with the seller.
We provided our client with a clear and substantiated view of the target’s performance and value, supported in particular by an in-depth analysis of the backlog.
We conducted a thorough review of the target’s historical performance, including analysis of sales and gross margin by project, distribution strategy and overhead structure. We also assessed the project backlog in detail, focusing on geographic breakdown, administrative status and associated gross margins. In addition, we developed a comprehensive business plan incorporating assumptions on market trends, sensitivity analyses and risk assessments.
