Rapid Essential Diligence
Started at MIT and applied in over 50,000 business engagements, the Rapid Essential Diligence (RED) Report is a fast and powerful assessment tool that quantifies the most important features of a business’s value.
RED is ideal for any group or individual closely involved in the buying or selling of business:
Corporate boards
Private equity firms
Venture capital firms
Holding companies
Private & family businesses
Brokers
Growth Consultants
Two RED Reports: RED and RED+
There are two RED Reports, our standard RED, and its more in-depth counterpart, RED+. While both share information, they can each be used for different reasons, at different times, and by different people.
Who is the RED+ created for?
Any organization or body that regularly needs to efficiently and rapidly confirm the essential elements of a business’s value, either while overseeing it (e.g. quarterly reviews) or during a transaction involving it.
- Corporate boards
- Private equity firms
- Venture capital firms
- Holding companies
- Private & family businesses
The RED Report (Standard)
The standard RED Report is an optimized version of our more in-depth RED+, created for quick delivery and rapid turnaround time. The standard RED includes essential data about the business and can be produced by our Diligence Experts in a little over 1 Business Day.
Advantages to standard RED:
- Faster turnaround time
- Focused data set
- Affordable price point
- Short & comprehensive format
- Readable in a single sitting
Closing Deals with RED
Deals die in their final stages, often when the business’s viability is called into question. The RED Report quantifies a business along its most critical dimensions, eliminating uncertainty and—in the case of healthy businesses—improving success rates in the most challenging phases of the deal.
