Competitive and Market Intelligence is critical in today's Financial industry. While research professionals employed by accounting firms, law firms and banking institutions may be the best at what they do, their mandate and techniques differ from what Sedulo can provide. Digging beneath the surface, beneath the numbers and legal contracts, Sedulo finds those hard-to-reach sources and gathers the hard-to-get intelligence. Sedulo focuses on those individuals with first-hand knowledge that are capable of providing information that is not available anywhere else.

Sedulo Group offers Financial Service companies a distinct and tangible advantage; peeling back the layers and gathering unpublished intelligence from stakeholders, suppliers, customers and employees.

Mergers & Acquisitions, Venture Capitol, Private Equity Investments... it's more than just numbers.

When it comes to making investment decisions, Competitive Intelligence should be a critical element in the decision making process. While on paper a company may look profitable, by going beyond the numbers and P&L statements, Sedulo Group can provide invaluable insight into the target company and the market.

• What is the company's attitude toward acquisition?
• How healthily is the company's supply pipeline?
• How secure is the companies market position and relationship with key customers and clients?
• Is the market expanding or contracting? What are the growth factors and trends?
• Are there technology changes on the horizon that will affect the company's profitability?

Answers to these questions and others are not found in published documents or spreadsheets; the answers to these questions come from those individuals with first-hand knowledge. Sedulo Group is skilled at locating these sources and discreetly eliciting the relevant intelligence needed, thereby providing the client with a more accurate and comprehensive view of the target company and its market.
