Investor and institutional: due diligence, exit readiness and national programmes
The shortest sales cycle in our catalogue and the highest value per day. A fund with a deadline, an owner planning a sale, or a government preparing its companies for Europe.
Network Due Diligence and Exit Readiness
Buy-side. Before an acquisition, what the buyer is actually buying: quality and transferability of contracts, real partner performance, territorial risks, how much of the system is documented and how much is in people's heads, obligations to partners after the takeover. Three to four weeks, a report with risks and their effect on price. Base scope up to 20 units, one country, up to five contract families, up to four visits.
Post-acquisition integration. Unifying standards and contracts, aligning fees and territories, establishing control, communicating with partners during the transition, remediating inherited relationships. Three to six months.
Sell-side, Exit Readiness. A reverse due diligence for an owner who plans to sell in two to three years: documentation, contracts and transferability put in order so that the buyer has no reason to reduce the price, and risks removed before the buyer finds them. Three months, then accompaniment to the transaction, with a success fee on sale.
National Franchise Export Program
6 to 9 months. For ministries, export and investment agencies, chambers and development funds.
How a country prepares its companies for entry into the European Union through franchising, licensing and distribution.
- Programme for the institution: assessment of the company portfolio, selection of those able to expand, a national or sector programme, training of officials and advisers.
- Group programme for ten to twenty selected companies: joint modules and an individual readiness assessment for each.
- First companies: EU entry strategy per company, and continuation into the EU Market Entry Program at the company's choice.
Payment follows the milestones of the tender or the agreement with the institution. Every company in the programme is a candidate for market entry and a retainer; the institution is a candidate for an annual repeat.
Standing forms
External member of a supervisory or advisory board for franchisors and network companies that have no one with franchise experience on the board. A few hours a month, an annual agreement. Every such seat is a source of mandates for both sides.
The first conversation is without obligation and takes 45 minutes.
Within five working days we prepare a proposal for a Focused Engagement or a programme, with scope, deliverables, deadline and a fixed price. The price is fixed, by work package, and is reduced only with a proportionate reduction in scope, a longer deadline or a larger contribution by the client.
