Value erosion in sale processes can occur through poor preparation, process management and business performance. Our Mergers and Acquisitions expertise (financial, tax and operational) assists clients to retain pace, control and initiative throughout the sale process and ensures that value will be protected and enhanced. We offer assistance in the following ways:
Vendor Due Diligence
- We provide comprehensive due diligence on the business at the start of the sale process. This offers comfort to vendors and prospective buyers, providing an independent, robust and objective view of the business for sale, its performance and prospects.
- Potential deal breakers can be identified early and hidden value uncovered. Business can continue while disruptions are minimised.
- Robust financial analysis gives vendors an appreciation of prospective buyers’ angles and control of the sale process, ensuring it is timely and that the business sells for the best possible price.
- For potential buyers, a vendor due diligence report reduces their own workload, and can remove barriers and shorten the transaction timeline.
Vendor Assistance
We assist clients pre-divestiture, manage buyer diligence and handle post-divestiture issues. Our vendor assistance specialists work alongside company management and their lead advisers throughout the process, ensuring that opportunities and issues are understood and the correct steps are taken.
