Commercial Due Diligence of a Life Science Tools and Reagents Company for a Private Equity Firm

Situation

A nationally known private equity (PE) firm specializing in the life science industry needed help evaluating a life sciences tools and reagents company for possible acquisition and relied on Kineticos to help them with the commercial due diligence.

Process

Kineticos conducted a full market assessment and provided associated reports in a tight time frame, including customer, competitor, and product gap analysis. We also provided a market expansion strategy for global distribution.

Outcome 

Kineticos’ research and analysis helped the PE company arrive at the appropriate market and investment value, which was below the seller’s threshold. The work we provided established an accurate market value for both the PE firm and the life sciences tools and reagents company. Rather than lowering their value expectations, the life science tools and reagents company decided not to sell.
