Vendor due diligence
Do you need to provide an independent analysis of the company you are selling?
To ensure an efficient sales process, vendors need to present their financial information to potential buyers as transparently as possible. An independent assessment provides potential buyers with an objective view of the business encompassing its performance and prospects.
As a highly recognised worldwide firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers reports help you to anticipate potential issues arising during the negotiations and give the information provided for the credibility thereby improving the bid and negotiation process. Our reports aim to address the concerns and issues that may be relevant to even the most demanding purchaser.
Vendor due diligence
- provides greater control over the sale process and the timing of sale;
- reduces the disruption to the business and;
- helps secure a higher price for the business.
Vendor assistance
Does your company need assistance in the planning and management of a sale?
Vendor assistance provides tailormade solutions to assist you in successfully completing your divestments. Our vendor assistance specialists work alongside company management and their lead advisers throughout the process, making certain that opportunities and issues are understood and the correct steps are taken.
Vendor assistance specialists can help to make sure that the vendor retains pace and initiative throughout the sale process. In addition the vendor is able to benefit from the early identification of value-critical issues, providing the option to “regroup and fix” outside the glare of publicity.
Vendor due diligence or Vendor assistance?
Vendor assistance is potentially more suitable in situations where the likely purchasers are trade buyers. It can be less time consuming than ‘full scope’ vendor due diligence. The key difference between Vendor due diligence and Vendor assistance is that the latter is provided for the benefit of the vendor only.
