BUY SIDE DUE DILLIGENCE

A buyer uses a due diligence investigation to analyse and verify any financial, commercial, operational and strategic information. In order to assess the strategic value of the acquisition at an early stage, our transaction services team can assist by identifying the opportunities, threats and value drivers. The working capital, cash-flow management and key performance indicators are assessed and analysed as well. These determine the value of the company to be acquired and help the buyer to prepare a bid. A quick scan will identify the risk areas and establish the scope and terms of reference. These are studied in more detail during the confirmatory due diligence, and may lead to possible guarantees and indemnifications to be included in the share purchase agreement.
