Case study

Forecasting the market

We advise Investment Banks, Private Equity Firms, and Venture Capitalists of market conditions via our consultations and market forecasts. PE Firms often buy in sectors that are new territory to them. ITR Economics can provide a forecast and advice regarding the conditions and viability of the target market.

Forecasting your potential acquisition

Our program includes a consultation with a business economist to discuss how we will go about forecasting the target company’s sales. We then conduct an analysis and develop a 12-quarter forecast of the company’s sales. When the forecast is complete, we walk you through the findings and the key inputs that are driving the outlook. Should you decide to proceed with the acquisition, our economist will meet with the target company’s management team and walk them through the inputs, outlook, and any positive or negative risks to the forecast.

“Alan, Brian, and the ITR team have provided Riverside with insightful thoughts on the global economy for years. They help provide a macroeconomic view, which is important because our small businesses would not normally have access to this kind of analysis. Their entertaining style and natural rapport have helped them understand our firm and tailor their content to our needs. Their broad outside perspective is another important tool that helps us make companies bigger and better.” - Stewart Kohl, Co-CEO - The Riverside Company
