The business behind the target — honestly assessed.

Who it's for

For PE funds, M&A teams and roll-ups buying in the e-commerce and Amazon space — and wanting to know, before the decision, how solid the business behind the numbers really is.

My perspective

I built over €100m at KW-Commerce and scrutinised e-commerce targets for houses like Rothschild and Cinven. I don't look at the numbers — that's your financial advisers' job — but at the business itself: Amazon setup, brand strength, processes, team and the real growth and risk drivers.

What you get

• Calls and assessments on the target
• An honest read on the business: Amazon and e-commerce setup, brand, processes, team
• The real growth and risk drivers — operational, not from the balance sheet
• Deliverable as a PDF or slide deck, tailored to your investment process

An operational read on the business — no financial due diligence; the numbers are checked by your financial advisers. And no operational account handling — if needed, interim support afterwards in the post-merger phase (see Interim Management).
