Opera Group
Diagnostics and due diligence

We don’t sell presentations. We perform due diligence before operating.

Many international brands test LatAm without data and stop halfway. Start with a quick diagnostic and proceed when the evidence supports it.

The four steps

Quick diagnostic → brand-market → due diligence → agreement design.

Each step is a gate. If the evidence supports it, we advance. If not, we stop.

Step 1 · Quick assessment

Step 2 · Business case
Brand-market diagnostic
When: 30-minute workshop · assisted

We sit with you and score 6 fit dimensions against the 8 markets where we operate. You leave the call with a heat map and a clear next step.

6 dimensions of fit
  • · Value proposition fit
  • · Product fit (SKU, packaging, regulation)
  • · Brand value and PI/IP
  • · Operational readiness
  • · Capital and investment capacity
  • · Competitive landscape
Deliverables
  • Heat map: 6 dimensions × 8 countries
  • Value proposition, product, brand, and competition score
  • Capital gap and operational readiness analysis
  • Scope note for due diligence
Gate to the next step — we both decide if we continue
Step 3 · In-depth analysis
Due diligence
When: 4–8 weeks

Analytical depth with the perspective of the operator who will manage the P&L tomorrow. Know who you truly compete with on the shelf.

Deliverables
  • Market size by category and country
  • Competitive analysis: pricing, share, and distribution
  • Channel and retailer mapping (top 50 key accounts)
  • Regulatory, customs, and health analysis
  • Local brand audit (focus groups and shopper insights)

Gate to the next step — we both decide if we continue
Step 4 · Agreement design
Agreement design
When: 6–12 weeks

If due diligence supports it, we design the agreement: term sheet, legal and tax due diligence, governance, KPIs, and an orderly transition to operations.

Deliverables
  • Term sheet for JV, BOT, distribution, or license
  • Legal, tax, and IP due diligence
  • Governance, board, and KPIs
  • Operational model design and launch plan
  • Handover to Phase 1 — market entry

Start with the diagnostic. Proceed when the evidence supports it.
