Profits & Loss:
Revenues: What are the major revenue streams, and what percentage of the total revenue does each stream represent? Does
anything seem unusual in the balance of percentages? Have the percentages changed lately? If so, why?
Costs: Any major shifts in costs? Do any costs seem out of line?If we benchmarked our costs against our competitors’ costs,
what would we find?
Entering a New Market
Can involve mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, starting a new business, or the development of a new product.
M&A: The two most important factors about a merger are whether it increases shareholder value and whether the two cultures
will mesh well. Cultural mismatch is the biggest reason mergers fail or don’t live up to their potential.
Pricing
Investigate the company and its objective, learn about the product or service and the competition, and then pick a pricing
strategy.
Competitive Analysis
Cost-based Pricing
Price-based Costing
Growing and Increasing Sales
(1) Learn about the company and its size, resources, and products.
(2) Investigate the industry: Is it growing and how is the client growing compared with the industry? Are the client’s prices in line
with its competitors?
