PREP4MA offers operational advisory, which can be invaluable when buying or selling a company, especially when it comes to accurately assessing the target company’s operations and potential synergies.

As operational experts, we plan, develop and implement effective strategies to promote synergies and streamline operations.

PREP4MA operational advisory services contribute to the mergers and acquisitions process through in-depth analysis of a target company’s day-to-day operations, identification of challenges and opportunity.  We evaluate operational efficiency, also developing a post-merger integration plan to ensure minimized company operations, smooth transition, and maximized value creation after the deal is closed.

Our Prep4MA operations team will enhance your opportunity to successfully close a deal through:

Deep Dive into Operations: Analyzing current company operational models and target company’s operational processes- including production efficiency, customer service, technology, cost structure, supply chain management, policy and procedures to identify areas for improvement and potential risks.

Communication and Collaboration: Providing effective communication with the buyer, seller, and all M&A team members- including financial, legal, and strategic advisors to ensure transparency, clarification and alignment.

Data Analysis: Analyzing datasets for actionable insights for thorough operational due diligence.

Performance Metrics Evaluation: Assessing key performance indicators (KPIs) related to operations- including customer satisfaction, inventory turnover, waste and cost reductions, production lead times, and the company’s operational health.
