For an acquirer, seller or lender, CSP’s commercial diligence assessment represents a critical element of the transaction process, supporting valuation and bid strategy, purchase price and contract negotiation, and acquisition financing. In a buy-side engagement, CSP assesses a target company’s capabilities, served markets, competitive and customer positioning, program and contract portfolio, and forecasted financial performance, to enable a prospective buyer to validate their investment thesis.
In a sell-side role, CSP’s vendor diligence process helps management to prepare for a competitive auction by analyzing market, competitive, and forecast assumptions through the lens of a prospective buyer, and provides qualified bidders with a detailed diligence assessment they can use to expedite and frame their own review of the candidate.
