How our private equity services deliver lasting value
Our commercial due diligence provides a thorough analysis of revenue drivers, market positioning, and growth potential, offering actionable insights for confident investment decisions. We identify and mitigate commercial and operational risks, addressing vulnerabilities and competitive pressures. Additionally, we create tailored business plans for standalone and post-merger scenarios, ensuring a strong foundation for operational and financial success post-acquisition.
Post-deal, we drive revenue and margin growth with a structured, analytics-driven approach to maximize EBITDA and free cash flow from the commercial organization.
Our process starts with full transparency into financial and commercial performance, analyzing key drivers like products, customers, channels, and business units. Using a cube-based analytics platform, we uncover nuanced insights into revenue and cost dynamics, pinpointing growth and margin opportunities.
From these insights, we craft tactical action plans to unlock short- and mid-term opportunities, boosting revenue, efficiency, and profitability. Working closely with portfolio teams, we ensure seamless execution, delivering measurable improvements and sustainable value creation.
We accelerate growth by conducting targeted market scans to identify strategic add-on acquisitions that drive top-line growth, expand product offerings, and extend channel reach.
Each scan is guided by a strategic fit analysis to align targets with portfolio goals, ensuring synergies that enhance market share, product depth, or geographic presence.
For every target, we evaluate the impact on revenue, EBITDA, and cash flow, prioritizing acquisitions that strengthen valuation. Our scans empower buy-and-build strategies to expand your portfolio’s commercial foundation and competitive edge.
Cases
- Ingenio supported an US based sponsor during the commercial, operational and technical due diligence of an European mobile telecom operator.
- We developed the post merger business plan for the acquisition of a Nordic mobile operator by a telco specialised sponsor.
To elevate the EBITDA margin of an European utilities company, Ingenio crafted and executed a targeted Growth Acceleration Program centered on redesigning the client’s distribution strategy. Our approach leveraged our Lifetime Value Contribution principle to optimize the partner network, introducing high-performing partners while phasing out underperformers. This was complemented by a value-based commission model that directly aligned partner incentives with long-term value creation. Within six months, the company achieved a 2% margin increase, demonstrating the rapid impact and sustainability of our tailored, results-driven consulting approach.
