Strategic consulting

 

Maxport engages with company management, company Boards and shareholders to undertake strategic analysis on many topics including;

 

Acquisition strategy review

Maxport can help review or develop an acquisition strategy for either a specific target or a more general approach:

• Work with management to define the company’s objectives and sensitivities
• Coordinate input from the investment banking community
• Develop a written analysis to capture the information gathered above and make recommendations for an acquisition strategy, featuring a target list if appropriate

 

Offshore development strategy review

Maxport has recently undertaken an extensive analysis of product development offshoring options and their pros and cons and can address the following issues, amongst others:

• Is your organisation suited and prepared for taking product development offshore?
• What location, structure and partners match your objectives?
• How should you proceed (or not)?

Maxport has developed a workshop to help management and investors climb the offshore learning curve quickly but thoroughly in a cost effective manner.

 

Planning for exit

Maxport forces management to escape from the demands of day to day operations by working with them to:

• Identify the alternative paths to exit (M&A and public market listing)
• Name all the potential acquirors and ascertain if there are additional steps that can be taken to help to bring those parties together (e.g. talking with the right bankers, subtely planting ideas with industry contacts or analysts).
