Although the financial community is starting to show interest in multichannel, it is still often mistaken for internet retailing growth and under-utilised as a lever of value creation.
It is our firm belief that those private equity funds who embrace multichannel thinking on their existing portfolio and in assessing new deals will be ahead of the pack in the next vintage of consumer-facing deals.
With one of our founders an ex private equity investor, we understand better than anybody else how multichannel transforms into value creation for private equity clients.
We offer the following tailored tools to private equity clients:
- Target mapping: Helping you identify potential deals where multichannel represents a significant lever of value creation.
- New deal due diligence: assessing the potential and creating the business plan for internet and multichannel retailing.
- Portfolio: multichannel healthchecks; multichannel strategy and implementation, both "quick wins" (e.g. website optimisation) and transformational (e.g. new platform, click & collect, new channels, new geographies); Ongoing monitoring.
- Exits: positioning for exit; demonstrating multichannel as a lever of value creation for the next buyer.
- Management: Management multichannel assessment or training.
