Hi there,

Sorry to say, but it genuinely depends!

If the prompt is along the lines of "We're looking to evaluate x acquisition" or "We're evaluating a range of acquisitions", or "We're determining how to enter this market between acquisition, JV, and organic", you could reasonably ask "What funds do we have to allocate to this?".

Otherwise, feasibilty should indeed be part of your framework. Up to you as to whether it is its own bucket or embedded within a bucket like "deal logistics" or "synergies/dis-synergies" etc. etc.

Importantly, there are few hard-and-fast rules for specific framework buckets...it depends on the prompt!

Hi, I confirm there is not a golden rule but strictly depends on the questions and on the client's objective

Best,

Antonello

Hello!

It depends, both can be good and help to the case.

Without more context, I would include it as one of the risks / qualitative parts of the case. Precisely M&A cases are full in details and nuaces in everything that goes beyond economics.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
