Due Diligence

We provide comprehensive due diligence services to both buy-side and sell-side clients.

Our Buy-Side Business Due Diligence Solutions focuses on analyzing key drivers of the target company, enabling buyers to assess and evaluate the potential acquisition at the proposed purchase price. This allows investors to make informed decisions on whether to proceed, renegotiate, restructure, or withdraw from the transaction.

For the sell-side, we conduct Sell-Side Business Due Diligence for companies looking to sell, raise funds, or respond to inquiries from potential buyers. Our services help sellers present their business transparently and accurately to facilitate smoother transactions.

Our due diligence process includes:

1. Financial Analysis: Conducting a thorough review of the target company’s financial statements, historical performance, cash flow, and profitability to identify risks and opportunities.

2. Legal Review: Examining legal contracts, intellectual property, litigation risks, regulatory compliance, and other legal matters to ensure the target is free from liabilities.

3. Operational Assessment: Evaluating operational efficiency, supply chain, technology infrastructure, and management capabilities to highlight operational strengths and weaknesses.

4. Market & Commercial Review: Assessing market positioning, customer base, competitive landscape, and growth potential to verify the commercial soundness of the transaction.

5. Tax Analysis: Analyzing the target’s tax structure, historical filings, and potential tax liabilities to mitigate unforeseen tax risks.

6. ESG Review: Reviewing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, ensuring the target meets relevant compliance and mitigates reputational risks.

7. Risk Identification & Mitigation: Identifying key financial, legal, operational, and market risks, and providing strategies to address these risks.

8. Synergy Evaluation: Analyzing potential synergies between the buyer and the target, ensuring realistic expectations for cost savings and revenue generation post-transaction.
