Due Diligence

JMAN can help provide solutions to your hypotheses before and during a transaction.

We partner with our clients to instill confidence throughout an investment transaction. We use supporting first- and third-party data to test commercial hypotheses, extracting detailed insight on a target and uncovering areas of opportunity. Additionally, we assess whether a target’s underlying data asset can support delivery of your VCP, providing a suggested roadmap for implementation to realize value in the first 100 days up until exit and beyond.
