Context
Our client is a leading European Private Equity investor considering a majority investment in a frozen food distributor.
Approach
We conducted a four-week strategic due diligence engagement to assess the target company’s market positioning, competitive dynamics, and growth potential. The work included 20+ interviews with industry experts, trade organizations, and competitors; an extensive customer survey; and in-store visits across multiple competitors to evaluate price competitiveness and product assortment.
The Results
Our strategic due diligence confirmed the robustness of the target company’s value proposition and its growth potential. In particular, an in-depth store performance analysis demonstrated that store density could be increased without negatively affecting individual store performance, thereby confirming significant potential for additional store openings.
