Due Diligence is a process through which a potential acquirer evaluates a target firm for acquisition. In the field of mergers and acquisitions, there is nothing more important than undertaking a proper program of due diligence on the target to be acquired, so that the purchaser can identify any “skeletons in the cupboard” before committing to the transaction. Pre-lending reviews are carried out, generally at the request of the proposed financier, for the purpose of enabling a risk assessment to be completed and to conduct an independent review of the future viability of the business.
In undertaking any assignment for due diligence, whether it be a small family business or a well-established national company, our approach is to tailor a program that specifically addresses the concerns and risks of that business, providing a more cost effective outcome for the client. Whether the client is the purchaser or the vendor, we maintain an impartial approach towards evaluating the business and undertake strict levels of confidentiality.
