Commercial Due Diligence

At T4, we provide comprehensive commercial due diligence services to help our clients make informed investment decisions. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach and work closely with our clients to develop a customized approach that meets their specific needs. Our team of experts conducts extensive research to provide our clients with insights into the target company's market, competitive landscape, and growth opportunities. We ensure that our findings are actionable and lead to value creation and growth.

We believe every company should have access to the same strategy expertise and support that large firms like Bain, BCG, and McKinsey provide. Our team consists of former consultants from some of these firms, and we remain passionate about bringing data-driven, actionable recommendations to our clients. We specialize in primary and secondary market research-based strategy consulting, and ensure our insights come from a multitude of data sources: industry expert interviews, surveys, traditional third party research, and alternative data sources.

T4 conducted a due diligence and multiple post-acquisition projects for a Private Equity firm acquiring a Restaurant Technology Co. T4 identified three priority initiatives for the first 100 days. Following the acquisition, T4 completed a multi-year European market entry, pricing benchmarking, growth strategy, and bolt-on due diligence.

At T4, we take a comprehensive and data-driven approach to commercial due diligence. Our methodology involves extensive primary and secondary research, as well as targeted surveys.

1. Expert & Customer Interviews

Most T4 projects involve 10-30 industry interviews that allow us to conduct in-depth analysis and make well-informed recommendations, even if industries have little to no existing research or data.

2. Surveys

In addition to primary research, T4 conducts B2B and B2C surveys including survey design, launch, and analysis. Analysis includes advanced analytics in support of market sizing, customer discovery, segmentation, and Go-to-Market strategy.

3. Secondary Market Research

T4 subscribes to a variety of third-party research resources, utilizes traditional and alternative data tools, and has an embedded knowledge platform that enables T4 to provide unique insights.
