Buy side due diligence: Any organisation considering a deal needs to check all the assumptions it makes about that deal. Financial due diligence offers peace of mind to both corporate and financial buyers because it analyses and validates all the financial, commercial, operational and strategic assumptions being made. It also uses past trading experience to form a view of the future and ensure there are no 'black holes'.
Service components include revenue, commercial and market due diligence, synergy validation, maintainable earnings, future cash flows, all operational issues, and deal structuring.
How we can help:
Enhance purchaser's understanding of the target business, which increases likelihood that deal will achieve its objectives.
Help you identify and understand critical success factors to improve your understanding of all relevant issues so informed decisions can be made.
Highlight strengths that can be built upon or weaknesses that can be resolved.
Vendor due diligence
If your company is up for sale - or you are selling off one of its parts – you’ll need to show an in-depth report on its financial health to potential buyers - this is vendor due diligence. We help both buyers and sellers (vendors) with an independent view of the business, encompassing its performance and prospects.
Our vendor assistance specialists work alongside your company management and your lead advisers throughout the process, making sure that opportunities and issues are understood and the correct steps are taken.

Our vendor assistance specialists work alongside your company management and your lead advisers throughout the process, making sure that opportunities and issues are understood and the correct steps are taken.
How we can help:
- Provide vendors with greater control over the sale process and timing of sale, which can help secure a higher price for the business.
- Provide purchasers with greater certainty over the nature of the business and the characteristics of its cash flow. This helps pricing decisions and the level of gearing the structure will support.
- Reduce disruption to the business as the sale process is more controlled.
- Help add credibility to the facts, figures and information provided in the sales memorandum.
- Remove the need for a buyer to have substantial access to do their own due diligence work as they will be able to rely on the vendor due diligence report.
- Vendor assistance specialists can ensure the vendor retains pace and initiative throughout the sale process.
- Early identification of value critical issues, providing the option to "regroup and fix" outside the glare of publicity.
- Rapid execution of the divestment from the point of announcement. This reduces the business disruption and accelerates transfer to new owners.
- Reduce uncertainty risk for finance buyers, potentially justifying higher offers.
