Many companies do not have in-house resources or if they have resources then they do not have the time, to carry out valuations and due-diligence, on prospective investments. Also an independent valuation and due diligence can remove any biases which may be inherent with in-house staff.

Examples of valuation and due diligence work includes:
We have worked for a consortium bidding for a stake in a telephone operator being privatized in Africa. Carried out the valuation of the operator and Due Diligence. Our analysis considered the potential growth in GDP, telephone penetration, competition and political risk. We findings were presented to the Boards of the consortia members, detailing the bidding strategy that the consortia should adopt.

We have conducted commercial Due Diligence for a Client intending to participate in a project to build a wide area network linking Banks in 5 Eastern and Southern African countries, with over 100 POPs (points of presence), in order to assess the viability of the project and also to assist our client in deciding on the level of investment to be made.

We have carried out an independent assessment on behalf of our Client, on a Business Plan for building a telecommunications network in the Indian sub-continent using the railways right of way. This involved verification of the valuation model and an assessment of the viability of the project.

We have carried out evaluations for setting up e-commerce companies in the Arabian Gulf countries. This included an assessment of the e-commerce potential and the size of the market, market penetration and competition.

We performed an independent assessment of a Business Valuation for a client intending to set up a Data Clearing House. This included testing the assumptions made in the valuation, carrying out sensitivity analysis on the key factors. The study allowed the Board of Directors of the Client Company to develop an alternative investment strategy for the Data Clearing House.
