Circumference Group understands that businesses go through four life cycle stages: innovation, product, business and platform. Shareholder value can be materially impacted by how a company invests and manages these stages. Through our combined operating and transactional experience we have developed a standard method to evaluating businesses at each life cycle stage. As partners, we use our proven Core Value Assessment to highlight organizational and strategic issues that impact your return on investment.
Our analysis is centered on five operating criteria that we evaluate at each step in the development of a business.
