"Independent
expertise and global experience to conduct systematic and detailed
due diligence"
New investment opportunities and acquisitions require detailed
analysis and assessment in the form of due diligence, and independent
and experienced eyes are critical to the process.
"First Key was engaged to assist in our investment evaluation
of a large multi-plant brewing organization in Russia. After
their preliminary marketing and technical evaluation, we re-engaged
them to conduct a full due diligence with the objective of
identifying issues to be aware of as the brewing company moved
forward. First Key assembled a 5-member team consisting of
marketing, distribution and procurement, operations, engineering
and finance specialists. They conducted site visits and prepared
an integrated report identifying the issues, categorizing
there impact in terms of Quality, Cost and Capacity, and ranked
them according to subjective investment risk. We were very
pleased with the depth of their analysis, and the quality
of their work. First Key helped us to understand critical
elements of the beer business and strengths and weaknesses
of the target company."
