Service Description
Our service will assist companies acquiring products or services. Our assessment may form an initial screening process. An overview and rapid assessment can enable a Go/No Go decision to be made early, if the facts are clear.
Further in-depth analysis will also be available drawing upon the high quality support of industrial professionals. Techniques include detailed technical assessments, commercial market place analysis, competitor analysis and key opinion leader interviews and formal market research techniques.
Rapid screening reports can be produced in line with the client's specifications. Formal reports containing full evaluation and Go/No Go recommendations will be prepared; these can be co-ordinated with other intermediaries including M & A consultants and finance houses.
Case Study
Our
client, a medium sized US based multinational was offered the opportunity
to acquire three cardiovascular products from a German national pharmaceutical
company.
A
US-based R & D screening assessment would not have been possible within
vendor's time scale. However, two Harten Group consultants completed the
assessment within nine days. The proposal was not to proceed with either
product.
The
UK affiliate was able to screen a complex deal without having to wait
for a Head Office resource window. A credible, fully explained result
enabled the UK management to understand why further progress was not the
right choice and a final "no go" decision meant a saving of
any further resources.
"The Harten Group has been utilised to do the initial medical and business analysis for business development opportunities. I cannot remember when one of their recommendations was not accepted and appropriately acted upon. We have found the involvement of The Harten Group to have saved us countless hours of time and helped us to move quickly on important opportunities."
