In brief

In order to make the right investment decision, you need a partner who looks for the right targets, and you need comprehensive due diligence support. We can put you on course for increasing value within the first 100 days.

Whether companies are bought or sold, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants offers comprehensive consulting for the entire investment cycle.

 
Comprehensive support throughout the investment lifecycle
 

We support you during company valuation, whether as part of due diligence or a valuation process. Due diligence includes commercial, strategic and market due diligence, and covers all industries. We assist buyers as well as sellers (vendor due diligence). We also offer restructuring due diligence for under-performing companies.

The difference between success and failure is often determined during the symbolic first 100 days after the transaction. This applies to employee commitment and the attitude of top management. Prior to the transaction, our 100-day programs outline action plans and show how to organize and monitor the project. Performance improvement programs support the investment during the holding period. If the exit of a particular unit is crucial, the experts at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants are there to help with their "fire sale" tool. This technique can be used in normal IPOs as well as crisis situations. In short, regardless of the phase of the investment, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants helps you maximize the value of your company.
