About this service

Company research & competitive intelligence

Before entering a market, partnering or bidding in a tender, the question is almost always the same: what is really going on on the other side. I gather open-source information on the company, its competitors and its market, and connect it into one clear picture.

The research answers questions such as where the company is heading, which products it makes, what has been written about it and its products, and who the right people to approach are. Every finding is marked as a fact or an assessment, with its source.

The deliverable is an intelligence picture with conclusions and recommendations that you can put on the table and decide on.

When you need it

When clients come to me

  • Before entering a new market or launching a product
  • Before a partnership, merger or tender bid
  • When a competitor changes direction and it’s unclear why
  • When you need clients or contacts at a specific company
What I check

What the research covers

Business direction

Where the company is heading, based on what it and others publish.

Competitor map

Who operates in the market, and which products each one makes.

Failures and complaints

Published product problems, customer complaints and regulatory issues.

Contacts

The right people at the company, so you can open a conversation.

Social conversation

Who is talking about the topic, and which of them is a potential client.

Example questions

Questions you can ask

No identifying details, like every example on this site.

  • “Where is the company under review heading, business-wise?”
  • “Who are a specific company’s competitors in the market?”
  • “What is known about operational failures, reliability problems and regulatory issues of a defense product made by a company abroad?”
  • “Which products does a specific company make, and who are its contacts, in order to open a conversation?”
