Effective due diligence is an art, not a science. Combining an understanding of the deal and our client’s needs, Endeavour can rapidly craft a worldwide team to act as an effective partner in your next acquisition. As an independent, we can direct our clients to the best team of field assessors to provide Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and Limited Compliance Assessments. Endeavour works with the field team to develop cost and risk models for acquisition success. Endeavour’s principals are well-known for their abilities in the M&A space, having completed thousands of transactions and having provided training to more than 250 professionals.

Managing Complex/Worldwide Phase I Transactions
Endeavour’s senior management is experienced in completing worldwide due diligence assignments including hundreds of facilities. Endeavour works with a worldwide network of due diligence professionals to provide the best team possible working in the countries of concern. Endeavour also seeks the lowest cost – most effective solution for its clients. By providing an experienced management team, Endeavour can pinpoint due diligence issues, especially in operational due diligence. Endeavour’s approach focuses on how the acquiring company will do business in the future, not simply in the purchase of a piece of real estate. Endeavour typically does not provide services for vacant real estate (greenfield properties) or development properties (unless in conjunction with a larger transaction or if previous operations may have impacted a currently vacant property), preferring to focus our energy in the industrial due diligence arena.

Phase II/Limited Site Investigations
Endeavour provides project management for Phase II (limited site) investigations. Endeavour works with a number of drilling and sampling contractors throughout the US on these projects. Endeavour’s depth and strength of subcontracting relationships provides effective, accurate local assistance in Phase II work. Unlike many of the major consultants providing similar management services, we are not wedded to our own staff, thereby preventing potential errors of judgment and misunderstandings of local geological and hydrogeological conditions. We are capable of providing clear-eyed and objective evaluations of the facts as presented, not how we or our clients may want them to be. We frequently provide third-party review of other consultants’ due diligence efforts, helping our clients to better evaluate potential environmental risks and understand the short- and long-term implications of that risk so that the client can develop a viable exit strategy for their investment.

Managing Acquisition EHS Risk
Endeavour works with acquiring companies to develop a business risk profile for clients who are interested in understanding the future risk horizon. Through the use of modified Monte Carlo analyses, Endeavour can develop a financial risk profile for any business. Endeavour’s products have been used to alter the valuation in bid situations for acquisitions.
