Vendor Due Diligence​

A Vendor Due Diligence (VDD) helps accelerate deal execution by providing an in-depth report on the company that is for sale. This significantly decreases the time necessary for buy-side due diligence and decreases business interruptions by eliminating unnecessary meetings and reducing information requests.​

But more importantly, it provides vendors with greater control over the sales process and the timing of the sale which in turn can help secure a fair price for the business. ​

Buy-side due diligence​

A due diligence report, analysing in detail, the financial health of the company that is for sale, is often a necessary pre-requisite for the completion of the sale. Our due diligence process focuses on identifying risks, exposures, and opportunities early in the process, typically focusing on the following areas:​

  • Profitability analysis and changes over time​;
  • Understanding the historical performance of the products and services sold, including comparison with peers​;
  • Understanding the quality of the target’s financial reporting team​;
  • Analysing the target’s quality of Assets Debt and specific debts like items and off-balance sheet contingencies​;
  • Understanding the historical working capital, cash flow management and future capital expenditures requirements​;
  • Providing advice on purchase contract consideration​;
  • Providing preliminary thoughts on the impact of purchase accounting on future earnings.
