CASE STUDIES
Evidence of
value.
Results are measured in validated savings and realized EBITDA impact. Every label — identified, validated, contracted, implemented, or realized — means exactly what it says.
4 ENGAGEMENTS
M&A ADVISORY & SYNERGY VALUE CREATION
Operational Due Diligence on Compressed Deal Timeline
PRIVATE EQUITY — MULTI-SECTOR
CHALLENGE
A 25-company, $1B+ portfolio firm running simultaneous diligence on multiple targets lacked the operational bandwidth and category expertise to vet each acquisition on compressed deal timelines.
APPROACH
VPP stood up a rapid-response operational assessment team to evaluate every target, quantifying risk and opportunity to directly inform go/no-go decisions and 100-day post-close work plans.
RESULTS
Key customer actively leaving — identified pre-sign
Customer concentration risk surfaced before close
Long-term, below-market commitment not visible in financials
Unprofitable supply contract uncovered
Significant added costs in proposed China move
Manufacturing relocation risks flagged
$1M+ in savings opportunities
Cost-savings synergies quantified
$2M+ identified
Obsolete inventory not caught in financial audit
TAKEAWAY
Operational and supply chain due diligence helps PE firms identify major acquisition risks and opportunities within aggressive deal timeframes.
All case study results are from completed client engagements. Outcome stages (identified, validated, contracted, implemented, realized) reflect the state of results at engagement close. Results are not forward projections and do not constitute a guarantee of future performance.
