Duet introduces Strategic Review service
Duet Partners Ltd has extended its corporate advisory service offering to incorporate Strategic Review.
By assisting management teams with this most basic assessment of the future prospects of the business a fuller understanding of company’s strategic options can be developed. This is of greatest value at times of change and uncertainty, such as:
- The market has shifted and the business must quickly adapt
- The company’s cash position is becoming a source of concern
- The business is not meeting milestones set at the last funding round
- Investors have become restless and seek reassurance
- Sudden changes in circumstances have present a new threat or opportunity
John Hall, Partner, commented: “In so many cases where we are assisting companies develop their funding strategy, more fundamental questions about the business emerge. Very often businesses that are in a headlong rush to commercialise and grow have just not taken the time out to take stock of the strategic options ahead. Without a clear and up to date vision of how the company can best exploit its position and assets, there is a real risk that the future financing strategy will be built on unstable foundations. “
As a prelude to developing the financing strategy, the Strategic Review phase encompasses a range of topics that include:
- Commercialisation strategy – converting technology into profits
- Business models and accelerating early stage revenues
- Tactical IP exploitation and disposals
- Partnerships and capital efficient development approaches
- Creating strategic value and the optimal point of investor return
