Commercial & Operational Due Diligence (Buy-Side and Vendor)

Retail Due Diligence Adviser of the Year 2009

Javelin Group was recently voted 'Retail Due Diligence Adviser of the Year 2009' in Acquisition Finance magazine's global industry awards.

A differentiated approach to due diligence in the retail sector

As a retail specialist, Javelin Group goes beyond the traditional scope of commercial due diligence (market, competitors, customers, proposition) by integrating all elements of operational due diligence (product management, logistics, business processes, IT, store locations, online and other direct channels) for both buy side and vendor engagements. This provides a comprehensive evaluation of the target or the seller's companies, business plans and management teams. The specialist skills of our team across the retail value chain, from source to store to customer, enable us to deliver this differentiated approach.

Javelin Group has delivered critical thinking in more than 50 buy-side and vendor Commercial & Operational Due Diligence appraisals in the past four years.
