Industry assessments

Before Hamnett Enterprises builds, buys, or advises in a sector, it assesses the sector in writing: market size with the assumptions shown, the competitors and how they earn money, the cost and price trends that decide whether the business works now or only in ten years, the regulation that applies, and the configuration that would make a venture in it profitable. The posts under this tag publish those assessments, or the parts of them that are not confidential, for sectors relevant to owner-run companies in Germany. Each one states its sources and its date, gives figures with units and periods, and ends with a verdict and the conditions under which the verdict would reverse. Some of the assessments concluded against entering the sector, and those are published with the same detail as the favourable ones. Read this tag to see how a sector looks from the desk of a buyer with permanent capital.
