Due Diligence
This webinar looks at how you can find and access targets for acquisition and licensing. Our customer success team take you through finding targets of interest for potential acquisition or licensing as well as helping you to understand a portfolio in context and perform thorough due diligence in your later M&A activities.
Using Cipher’s unique target finding feature, combined with a custom M&A chart set, we will explore the following key areas of analysis:
- how to find find targets for acquisition or licensing relevant to your technology areas, or technology areas of interest
- how to use Cipher to review targets already found to understand their portfolio in context against similar portfolios (you might even find a portfolio more suitable for acquisition!)
- how to see how an acquisition or license would affect your overall position compared to others
