In this case study, CPL assisted conducted commercial and technical due diligence on an animal feed additives, premix and compound feed company, resulting in a successful acquisition.
The objective of this study was to assist our client in its due diligence of a potential acquisition target in animal feed, particularly to help in reviewing the information memorandum and other company data to appraise the prospects of the company. The company produces feed additives and premixes, serving customers in its home country and neighbouring countries in the Balkans.
CPL visited the target company to view its operations and interview its management, allowing it to assess its strengths and capabilities. CPL surveyed 100 farmers to assess their views of the reputations of the target company and its competitors and how they position themselves. We used public databases to support our findings during the due diligence process, reporting on the size and growth of the animal feed and animal production industries in the Balkans, and company websites and contacts to inform our client of the target company’s competitive landscape.
Following completion of this project, CPL’s client invested in the target company.
