Overview
Complementary to legal and accounting due-diligence, business due-diligence covers critical issues such as business and financial projections and processes, management, and valuation.
Acquiring a business means you must understand the true historic performance of the intended target as well as the validity of future financial projections. This can be very challenging, particularly in small-medium or family-run businesses in some markets.
I can help, whether you are buying or selling, to gain an in-depth understanding of the business, culture, organisation, and environment and articulate this to the relevant parties.
Business Challenges
Buyer:
|
|
You are considering acquiring a company in an emerging market, but the financial projections appear to be very aggressive?
|
|
|
Do your teams responsible for new acquisitions have the time and resources for a detailed probe into the target company’s business plans?
|
Seller:
|
|
Are you in the process of selling your company outright or bringing in a new strategic or financial partner?
|
