Private Equity & Finance |
Avascent supports the leading private equity funds, providing rigorous, in-depth and highly responsive buy-side diligence and sell-side support. We emphasize in-depth industry knowledge and networks, highly responsive and adaptive working relationships, rigorous and transparent analysis, and a relentless and unbiased focus on the risks and opportunities of any investment opportunity. |
Public Services |
Leveraging deep experience in outsourced services markets ranging from highly technical engineering to infrastructure and security, Avascent supports a wide range of growth-oriented engagements, including strategy development, adjacent market analysis, acquisition and capture support, and assessment of public-private partnerships. |
Avascent’s services encompass corporate and business line strategy, international market expansion (to include selection, entry, partnering, and business development organisational development), customer strategy and marketing, business capture and pricing, and M&A strategy development and execution. We combine these offerings with a deep understanding of how to assist leaders to develop balanced organisations that are aligned with their strategies and objectives.
Avascent supports clients seeking to extend or redefine the boundaries of their growth potential: from core into adjacent markets (diversification and new market entry), from established into emerging products and services (portfolio management and realignment), from national into international markets (geographic expansion and internationalisation strategies). Avascent emphasizes a rigorous understanding of the external environment as the foundation of a winning strategy, grounded in facts and insights that challenge internal biases and legacy thinking to provide a new basis for long-term growth.
With particular focus on strategically important pursuits, Avascent provides targeted assistance to understand and shape customer requirements, select the right partners, and differentiate from competitors. We also provide best in class analytical cost modeling and Price-to-Win support built on solid empirical data, industry-leading parametric models, and rigorous customer and competitive analysis. With more than two decades of experience supporting business development executives and capture teams, Avascent has the expertise, tools, and methodologies to maximise our clients’ prospects for success.
Avascent has worked with strategic and financial buyers from around the world to develop and execute campaigns to drive non-organic growth. Focusing particularly on “game changing” strategic acquisitions, we help clients align their M&A strategy with emerging market opportunities and move aggressively toward an acquisition decision without succumbing to “deal fever.” Particularly for firms looking at new sectors or those with relatively little M&A experience, Avascent can be a critical catalyst, helping leaders accelerate the decision-making process.
