Our client was an investor considering entry into, or acquisition within, the pharmaceutical transport and distribution segment.

The Challenge

The client was considering entering the pharmaceutical transport and distribution segment in Poland. The market is highly consolidated, and entry requires specific certifications, licenses, and capital. The client lacked visibility into potential acquisition targets and a model for advisor compensation.

What We Do

  • Analysis of the pharmaceutical transport market and identification of potential acquisition targets.

  • Assessment of entry requirements covering licenses, capital guarantees, and warehousing requirements.

  • Development of a transaction advisory fee model, together with a recommendation.

Results

  • The three largest players found to control roughly 70 percent of the market.

  • Entry barriers quantified in terms of capital guarantees and fleet costs.

  • An advisor fee model defined, based on a fixed fee plus a success bonus.

Summary

The client was given an initial map of the pharmaceutical transport and distribution market, with concrete acquisition targets, capital requirements, and a compensation model. The material forms the basis for further target qualification and a decision on the form of market entry.
