Market research for adjacent asset classes and managed services expansion opportunities

SITUATION

A large independent funder needed to examine the feasibility and opportunity for entry into a new asset category that would grow the existing portfolio and expand into managed services.

SOLUTION

The Alta Group provided market intelligence research related to assets considered adjacent to the client’s existing portfolio opportunities. We conducted a thorough examination of equipment categories including an overview of revenue and growth trends and a detailed review of application uses for each asset category to determine which assets could leverage existing or adjacent customer opportunities. Specific assets within asset categories were examined for key suppliers, major application areas, and estimated residuals. Alta also analyzed the competitive financing landscape for ease of market entry of those assets into the end selection process. The advisory support addressed specific emerging requirements and opportunities to incorporate an “as a service” financing option. Finally, Alta identified go-to-market and other potential investments and supported the client through the decision process.
