SE.07 / Acquisition Search & Target Screening
Beauty Brand Acquisition Search & Target Screening
Which kind of brand fits your acquisition strategy?
First define what an acquisition should change in your business. Then map the market and compare potential targets with agreed criteria, before detailed diligence on any particular company.
01 / Research pathway
Research pathway
Select a star or a research stage.
Acquisition thesis: category, country, technology, formulation capability, audience, retail access or professional channel.
The connected stars follow the research logic. Light pulses represent information flow, not live project progress.
02 / What we examine
What we examine
Acquisition thesis
category, country, technology, formulation capability, audience, retail access or professional channel.

geography, revenue range, price tier, assortment, R&D, manufacturing, founder involvement, channels and international potential.
Strategic fit
product, market, technology, consumer, brand, operating model and supply chain. Unknown information is clearly identified.

03 / What you receive
What you receive
An acquisition target map showing search logic, fit criteria, candidates, supporting evidence, unknowns and questions for the next diligence stage.
Illustrative research design
300 → 80 → 25 → 10 illustrates screening, not a promised number of targets. Statuses: fits; potential fit—evidence required; watch; outside current criteria.
Professional boundaries
The output shows fit with client criteria, not a ranking of investments. Inclusion does not mean a brand is for sale, willing to negotiate or diligence-cleared. Private or unlawfully obtained information is excluded.
