Every transaction is different. Whether you're making an acquisition, divestiture, or strategic alliance, or raising new capital, you need to know you’re getting the maximum return on your deal.
We advise clients who are buying or selling their entire business, or a part of it, as well as those refinancing or listing on stock exchanges. Technology driven financial due diligence is at the heart of what we do, strategically assessing opportunities and risks to ensure our clients make the most informed decisions.
Leaving no stone unturned
Financial due diligence is critical to identify key business drivers and financial risks through analysis of quality of earnings and assets. Our analysis forms part of the foundation to your valuation model, which ensures you pay for the right price and generate returns for your investors.
Navigating the deal process with expertise
Whether you are a vendor or buyer, we can bring a combination of commercial, operational and financial due diligence and insight to every deal. Our experienced deal advisers are there with you every step of the way as we deliver unparalleled knowledge and navigate the deal process with you.
We combine our financial expertise with data-driven insights to help you create value across all stages of the deal lifecycle. We offer expert advice on buyer due diligence, vendor assistance and vendor due diligence.
Any organisation considering a deal has to check all the assumptions made. Financial due diligence provides peace of mind to both corporate and financial buyers, by analysing and validating all the financial assumptions being made. It uses past trading experience to form a view of the future and confirms that there are no 'black holes'.
Vendor due diligence aims to address the concerns and issues that may be relevant to even the most demanding purchaser. For vendors undertaking a disposal or selling off a part of their own business, vendor due diligence provides bespoke solutions to assist you in successfully completing your divestments.
Our vendor assistance specialists work alongside company management and lead advisers throughout the process, ensuring that opportunities and issues are understood and the correct steps are taken.
Vendor assistance is potentially more suitable in situations where likely purchasers are trade buyers. It is also 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.
