• Strategic pre-acquisition planning: the Commercial Due Diligence (CDD)
Many mergers and acquisitions fall somewhere between opportunism and
planning. We aim to help our clients plan their acquisitions by way of
defining – or redefining – an initial Merger & Acquisition Strategy
with the preparation of an Investment Plan.
Merger & Acquisition Strategy is the framework and the justification within
which a specific deal will "fit" and on the basis of which the
transaction process will be implemented. It allows the definition of
the merger and acquisition market approach that will work best for the
client’s organisation. It lays down the operational work process for
building the M&A Strategy into the company’s overall growth
strategy and its fundamental basis of competition.
At LENZ International, we help our clients identify their Franco-German
cross-border options and alternatives. We map out strategic scenarios
for business development (i.e. specialisation, integration,
diversification) and we help our clients in justifying the execution of
a particular transaction (i.e. continuity of operations, consolidation,
new growth opportunity). We enable our clients to move quickly as they
seek to broaden primarily into France or Germany through acquisition or
corporate alliances. We help
develop an acquisition or a sale whilst exploring all the other options
open to our clients which could meet their strategic needs.
At LENZ International, we help our clients engage in strategic M&A
evaluation. Every investment must lead to ongoing value creation. We
assist in evaluating the value-creating potential and the strategic
logic of an acquisitive market presence primarily in France or Germany,
for whichever reason (i.e. market entry, vertical expansion, capture of
asset or financial synergies or realisation of economies of scale along
the value chain).
At LENZ International, with our
knowledge of local French or German business practices, legal,
regulatory and political environments, we are able to focus our clients
on the strategic "fit" issues of an investment whilst advising - with
the right emphasis - on possible organisational and cultural issues.
Expect us to always explain the local economic and cultural implications of any cross-border acquisition-related decision.
At LENZ International, we help planning the combination of global
strength
with local skills and culture. We manage the acquisition screening
process, advising you precisely on where to invest. Expect us to
profile your industry participants, to identify potential sellers and
to pre-qualify a list of priority investments. Through our Commercial
Due Diligence, we help you understand how your investment in France or
in Germany will create value for your share-
holders.
