Investment criteria
Growth Potential
Assessing the scalability and future growth prospects of the business involves analyzing market trends, competitive positioning, and the potential for market expansion. This includes identifying new markets, product lines, or customer segments that can drive future growth and evaluating the company’s ability to capitalize on these opportunities
Full-Time Employees (FTE)
Evaluating the workforce size and its impact on operational efficiency and growth requires an understanding of the number of full-time employees, their roles, and how effectively they contribute to the company’s objectives. Additionally, it serves as an indicator of how self-sufficient the business is from its current owner, assessing the ability of the workforce to maintain operations independently.
Revenue Performance
Analyzing historical and projected revenue ensures financial stability and growth by examining past revenue trends, current performance, and future forecasts. This involves reviewing financial statements, revenue streams, and key drivers of revenue growth to identify patterns and predict future financial health.
Operational Complexity and Risks
Understanding the operational challenges and risks involved in the business entails identifying and evaluating the complexities of business operations, such as supply chain logistics, regulatory compliance, and process efficiencies. It also involves assessing potential risks that could disrupt operations and implementing strategies to mitigate these risks.
Market risks
Assessing the external market factors that could impact the business includes analyzing economic conditions, industry trends, competitive landscape, and regulatory changes. This helps in identifying potential threats to the business and developing strategies to mitigate their impact.
Supplier or Customer Dependencies
Evaluating dependencies to ensure business resilience and stability involves assessing the reliance on key suppliers or customers. High dependency on a few suppliers or customers can pose risks, so it is crucial to understand these relationships, diversify sources, and build robust contingency plans to maintain stability.
Scalability
Ensuring the business model can be scaled effectively to capture growth opportunities requires evaluating whether the current infrastructure, processes, and systems can support increased demand. This includes assessing the capacity to expand operations, enter new markets, and handle larger volumes without compromising quality or efficiency.
