Commercial & vendor due diligence
We regularly conduct due diligence and red flag assessments for both buy and sell-side clients, helping them to understand potential future risks and opportunities. Recent assignments include:
A full commercial due diligence of PRL, the commercial rights arm of Premiership Rugby, the top league in English rugby union, for CVC Capital Partners. This included a review of the global rugby union ecosystem, with a particular focus on the future risks and potential growth opportunities. We conducted in-depth valuations of media rights and sponsorship, as well as helping PRL develop future strategic plans
A vendor due diligence assignment for the management of a leading global independent production company. We initially explored macro trends in the global, US and the UK TV production sectors, understanding the likely impact of these trends on the producer. We also reviewed the historic performance and future prospects of the production company and produced a summary business plan
opportunity evaluation & market scans
We work with investors to help them understand and identify the best opportunities in our sectors. Recent assignments include:
A market review of the European audiovisual market, focusing on the Nordics. We conducted a detailed review of each stage of the AV sector value chain, assessing current market trends and quantifying the opportunity
A review of the sports media landscape in multiple territories to evaluate an opportunity in motorsports. We developed an overview of the sports rights market and the position of motorsports within these markets, analysing potential risks and the key drivers of growth in sponsorship and media revenues as well as considering the sport’s current digital offering
