Our Approach

There are four stages in a Mezzanine Market Assessment.

Stage One:
Consolidate the internal information and existing perceptions on the market. Understand where your company currently stands relative to the market. Identify the variables that impact your market position, such as product or service specifications, skills and expertise, existing relationships, distribution channels, pricing, communications, competitive landscape and others.

Stage Two:
Identify the market structure, size and nature using published information from public and proprietary sources. Gather all available published data to build a high-level understanding of the market, its trends, competitive landscape, customer dynamics and recent performance.

Stage Three:
Conduct extensive interviews with industry experts, customers and prospects, competitor representatives and other stakeholders. Gain insight to customers’ demand for products and services, and potential competitive response to market changes. Obtain third-party perspectives on the market opportunities, key success factors and potential obstacles. Depending on the market, executive interviews are complemented by a broad market survey using telephone or online data collection methods.

Stage Four:
Synthesize the results to determine the opportunity for a given product or service, supported by rigorous data and qualitative insight. Develop actionable recommendations on marketing and sales to successfully penetrate the market. Mezzanine’s combination of quantitative data and qualitative insight provides a powerful market understanding and recommendations on market strategy.

"As a start-up, it was valuable for us to have an independent advisor conduct market research prior to the completion of our business plan. Mezzanine's market research made our business plan more compelling and assisted in securing investors. It will also be a key part of our go to market strategy."
