financial due diligence (FROM BUYERS PERSPECTIVE)

When considering an acquisition, management needs to check all the assumptions it is making about the deal. Financial due diligence involves analysing and validating all the financial, commercial, operational and strategic assumptions that are being made. By looking at the past you can form a view about the future and identify whether there are any "skeletons in the cupboard". 

We look at revenue due diligence, as well as maintainable earnings, future cash flows and all operational issues as well as the overall deal structure. 

financial due diligence (from vendors perspective)

When a business is up for sale, or you are disposing of a non-core segment, you need to show an in-depth report on its financial health to prospective buyers. We provide comfort to both buyers and sellers with an independent view of the business. We look at both current performance and its future prospects. 

From the vendor's perspective, our aim is to assist you in successfully completing your divestment. We work alongside you and your other advisors to ensure that issues are identified and correctly dealt with on a timely basis.
