Due Diligence Assessment
A Due Diligence Assessment is the first step before the commencement of formal negotiations.
Second Avenue brings the broad business acumen of its advisors to deliver a comprehensive assessment of all the attributes of a particular company by taking a multi-disciplinary approach. In addition to Financial due diligence, we focus on four other areas of due diligence: Strategy, Information Technology, Operations, and Human Capital that includes the organization’s culture.
Our advice extends to both, Acquirers and Sellers.
To Acquirers, our recommendations focus on the approach structure and minimizing risks. Our engagement encompasses:
    a. Understanding your strategic objectives, determining how they
        can be best met through an acquisition
