Public and Pre-public
Companies Competing in the global arena is no
longer a matter of choice, but is now a matter of necessity and survival. In sum, proactive
companies of all sizes, industries, and cultures are seizing new market opportunities
around the globe, and companies that are electing to forego global market
opportunities are finding that global competition is coming to them.
For this reason, public and pre-public companies
operating across Asia, Europe, and the United States, engage our firm to scrutinize their
traditional markets for new competitive threats and remote markets for new revenue and
profit opportunities. At the "macro" level, these companies engage our
firm to conduct market research, industry research, sector research, economic research,
merger and acquisition search, strategic partner search, joint venture partner search,
customer search, custom business-intelligence dossiers, company analysis, business model
analysis, competitor analysis/monitoring/benchmarking, price intelligence, and trade show
intelligence. At the "micro" level, we are engaged to conduct focus
groups, target group surveys, and transaction analysis. |

Professional Portfolio and Fund
Managers The traditional market for
business intelligence services has been public and pre-public companies. However,
the world's most proactive investment portfolio and fund managers have discovered that today's
business intelligence is what the best Wall Street research and analysis used to be.
In sum, the on-going collapse in the quality of traditional Wall Street research,
the "level playing field" stipulations of the US Securities and Exchange
Commission's Regulation FD, and the impact of the Internet on global information flow,
have all forced professional investors to seek out new sources of dependable, high-value,
leading-edge insights.
Reflecting these realities, professional investment
organizations from around the globe engage our firm to conduct company analysis, business
model analysis, market research, industry research, sector research, economic research,
and merger and acquisition analysis. Our firm also serves professional investment
organizations investing in pre-public (venture stage) companies. These venture
capital fund managers engage our firm to conduct company analysis, business model
analysis, market research, industry research, sector research, economic research, and
merger and acquisition analysis for the purpose of independently evaluating a start-up
company's market opportunity, competitive space, and/or business model. |

Investment Bankers Competition for public and private investment dollars is fierce,
and seasoned investment bankers operating in the public and private equity and debt
markets know that a client company's investment story must be rigorously
fact-based and as compelling as possible. For this reason, investment
bankers based in money centers around the globe engage our firm to conduct due diligence,
market research, industry research, sector research, economic research, merger and
acquisition search, strategic partner search, and joint venture partner search. In
many cases, our firm is engaged directly by an investment banker's client company. |
| Laguna Research Partners also serves fellow business
intelligence firms based in other parts of the world that have a need to tap into our
firm’s rich global network of senior consultants and research assistants. |
