Investor Solutions: Operational & Risk Due Diligence

When investors evaluate an acquisition or prepare for an exit, financial due diligence is only half the story. True enterprise value — and deal risk — lies in the strength of a company’s operations, leadership, and ability to scale.

The Battersea Group specializes in operational and risk due diligence for private equity firms, venture investors, and strategic acquirers. We dig into the systems, culture, and processes that determine whether a business is scalable, resilient, and ready to deliver on its growth thesis.

• Leadership & Culture Assessment
  
• Evaluate management team depth, decision-making, and accountability.
• Identify cultural strengths and fault lines that could affect retention, execution, or integration.
• Benchmark leadership capability against high-reliability organizations.
• Operational Readiness
  
• Assess scalability of processes, technology, and workflows.
• Identify operational bottlenecks that limit growth or margin expansion.
• Map dependencies on key people, suppliers, or systems.
• Risk & Compliance Review
  
• Evaluate compliance structures, governance frameworks, and regulatory exposure.
• Identify safety, quality, or reliability risks that could drive hidden liabilities.
• Stress-test crisis preparedness and business continuity plans.
• Process & Efficiency Analysis
  
• Review efficiency of core functions — production, logistics, customer onboarding, service delivery.
• Benchmark against industry best practices in operational excellence.
• Quantify cost savings and margin improvement opportunities.
• Growth & Integration Planning
  
• Test the target’s ability to absorb growth, acquisitions, or digital transformation.
