Why Use Newfire’s Due Diligence Services?
Reduce Risk, Maximize Potential
Newfire’s in-depth assessments and market expertise reveal the true potential of target acquisitions. Our seasoned tech experts and operational leaders know how to spot disruptive ideas, pinpoint flaws, and identify the right teams for long-term success.
Actionable Insights
Our reports go beyond checklists. We provide tailored recommendations that give both you and the acquired company a clear roadmap – ensuring investments are primed for growth.
Collaborative Approach
We understand that successful PE investments are about partnership. That’s why our due diligence facilitates open communication, paving the way for a win-win relationship for both you and the target company.
“It’s very rare to find someone who is willing to go diving into clickstream data and combine that with their own research into the idiosyncrasies of US healthcare in order to arrive at very well-considered, very well-argued recommendations about the path forward. Newfire has been a partner in really talking through our roadmap on the operational side. That’s not what you would expect from a developing partner, usually a more mechanical relationship where you need to provide much more specific instructions.”
– Ryan Scharer, CTO at FOLX Healthcare
