help deliver their services. These equipment can be used for diagnosis, monitoring or
treatment of patients.
Companies that are active in this industry focus on application of technology in creating

built around production, distribution and sale of equipment and supplies that encompass
diagnostic, imagin, and laboratory equipment, and medical instumentation. Be it a heart
monitor, an external defibrillator, X-Ray machines, Afib diagnostic device, or even surgical
tools, we can assist you in evaluating the industry, segment and companies that are in the
market and of interest to you.
Electronic and Electromechanial Manufacturing
Products that use electonics to perform their function, fall under this category. Electronic
circuirs are in the heart of many products that we interact with. They are in your cellphones,
TV, Wifi, kitchen equipment, household appliances, all the way to your cars. Products that
use electronics fall under electronic manufacturing companies, and products that use
electronics to control mechanical systems such as robots, motors, air conditioners, etc fall
under electromechanical manufacturing companies.
It is a challenging task that involves many expetise from various aspects of engineering and
business to complete the due diligence needed to properly assess the quality, stability and
value of one of these companies, and we are here to help you in the process in every step
of the way.
Consumer Products and Retail
Every aspect of our lives touches one of these goods. Basically everything that you can buy
from Amazon, Walmart and Target, and other retailers are manufactured by companies that
are dedicated to this industry and deal with high volume production. They have machinary,
supply chain, resources, and human force to get the job done. It is difficult to walk in to a
company that produces such products and make a solid assessment of their quality system
and business functions that contribute to their success. One has to dig deep and look
under the rug in all departments to fully understand what is being offere. It is not only the
company and its products, but assets and liabilities that have to be evaluated. Our team is
available to assist you in every step of the process.
Software Products
There are many companies whose products are purely software. These are companies such
as Microsoft, Facebook, Meta, etc. You know many of them. Just open your AppStore and
look. All of those companies make software as a product and their business is around
developing and selling software. Everyday hundreds if not thousands of small startups
come together to bring a new software to market that helps people with their health
management, call directory, computer security, virus protection, entertainment, gaming,
accounting, etc. Many of these companies aspire to eventually be acquired by larger
companies. If you find yourself interested in acquisition or investment in a software
product company, call on our experts to assist you in your due diligence and evaluation
process. There are many companies that produce disposable software that cannot be
enhanced, maintained, or improved. These are made by hackers that slap code together to
deliver functionality. How much these companies are worth, depends of the quality of their
product and systems that produce them. We understand software and can remove the
technical jagon and evaluate the business like it should be. We can help you in the
transaction, but also guide you in what to be prepared for, and how to continue operations
without loosing a beat.
Medical Devices
Medical devices are product that have direct interaction with human body for diagnostic,
data collection and therapeutic purposes. These products and their functions affect lives of
their users and therefore are highly regulated by the FDA in US and CE in Europe. Such
devices fall under three cateogies, class I, II and III, with class III being the most invasive kind
of devices and requiring the most stringent of review and approval processes. Investing and
running medical device companies requires a special set of skills and experties that most
people do not posses, and therefore they shy away from them. But companies that are
successful in bringing such products to market enjoy significant return on investment for
their shareholders and employees. Additionally, investors that chose this industry are
interested in being part of companies that improve quality of life for people and are
mission driven. Medical devices are a strong suits for us with over 30 years of experience
and expertise in this field. If you are venturing in this field, you have to make sure you have
the right people by your side to guide you. Just as the rewards for success are significant,
cost of failure is the same in this industry.

over time. Be it investing in land development, construction, acquisition, or service related
to this field, we have the expertise and knowhow to assist you along the way. It is hard to
know who to hire and what is the right price for a job. It is just as hard to know how to start
a business from a skill that you have expertise in. Just because someone is good at
carpentry does not mean that they know how to open a cabinet manufacturing business. It
requires understanding of all elements of a business and ensuring that you execute the
way a business needs to be run, and not a hobby shop. Having expertise in a discipline is a
good starting point, but does not guarantee success of a venture who has technical
knowhow and no business acumen. With the right advisors by your side, you can pour the
foundation that would lead to success in years to come.
Senior Care and Related Technologies
Senior care is a large and growing market. There are several real estate related businesses
such as assisted living, independent living, nursing home, hospice care, home care, and
others alike. Additionally, there are companies that make products and technologies
specific for these service providers to make their job easier and the care safer and more
cost effective. Adnacement of medical and pharmaceutical industry has allowed people to
live longer. There is and will be a need for ample companies that can assist elderly in their
old age to deliver improved quality of life. Due to the increased number of customers in
this fields, businesses that deliver some sort of service are in high demend. It is important
to find out if the service or product being offeres has the means of delivering attractive
returns to their investors and shareholders, or they will suffer business challenges that
makes them unsustainable. If you find yourself interested in diving in this field and aquiring
an existing business or starting a new one, we have the experience and knowhow to help
you in every step of the way.
Transportation and Logistics
The inflation of 2020 was initiated by supply chain, and more specifically the transportation
and logistics bottlenecks. This industry is build up of companies that move goods from one
place to another. It could be overseas, or local. In stater or interstate. These are trucking
companies, customs brokers, load brokers, warehousing, crossdocking, and shipping
companies. There is a huge need for additional service providers in this industry and
