Strategy is deciding
what will you do
in the next 10 minutes.
In the volatile and partially unpredictable world of today, companies need to focus on its capabilities, those of today and, substantially, those of tomorrow, which will ultimately be subject to where the organisation wants to be in the short and mid-run.
Answering with facts to very basic questions like "Where are we?" can be some times unclear and uncomfortable. Not to mention the "Where do we want to go?", or even more complex, "How are we going to achieve it?".
These, are the points of connection with FdN, to listen first and provide sharp, fact-based, relevant and short-run effect answers and simple choices to make.
Whether through a strategy review, commercial/operational due diligence, or support in budget execution, monitoring, and advising the Board, at FdN we strive to help our clients decide on the appropriate responses.
HOW WE HELP
The Company in its Market Analysis (Corporate & Business Strategy Review) helps investors and corporate leaders understand how a business is positioned within its competitive landscape and what strategic paths can unlock sustainable growth.
We evaluate the company’s market share, customer segments, competitive differentiation, pricing models, and value proposition against industry dynamics and emerging trends. This structured analysis highlights both vulnerabilities and opportunities to strengthen the business’s strategic positioning.
For private equity portfolio companies and corporate subsidiaries in the mid-market industrial, technology, and services sectors, our review goes beyond theory: we stress-test business models, benchmark performance against peers, and identify actionable growth initiatives. The result is a clear, evidence-based roadmap that supports stronger strategic decisions, sharper execution, and long-term value creation.

Business Plans & Budget (building support and methods) The best idea, no matter how strategic it is, means nothing if it is not tested, planned, and eventually approved for resource mobilisation, capital allocation and execution governance.
At FdN we are very conscious of it and we offer our help go put the numbers and financials to the associated Business Plan, advise on the steering for approval and translate it into revised Budgets and Objectives. Including modelling inorganic growth references, and organic transformations.

Commercial and Operational Due Diligence provides private equity investors and buy-side corporations and clients with a clear, independent view of a target company’s true potential before committing capital. We assess the attractiveness of its markets, the strength of its customer relationships and contracts, competitive positioning, pricing power, and growth opportunities, while also identifying potential risks.
On the operational side, we evaluate efficiency across processes, planning, forecasting and supply chain resilience, scalability, and technology readiness—highlighting both hidden costs and untapped levers of value creation.
Our approach is tailored to mid-market industrial, technology, medtech, and services companies, where market dynamics and operational execution are often decisive for returns.
By combining sector expertise with rigorous analysis, we deliver actionable insights that help investors validate assumptions, stress-test business plans, and make confident investment decisions.
