You are in the process of raising capital or divesting the business. A potential investor is about to put you under the microscope to expose areas of vulnerability and identify areas of hidden value. The investor will spend a significant sum engaging accountants and lawyers expert in investigatory work to complete due diligence. Teams with hundreds of years experience will be spending hundreds of hours scrutinising every aspect of your business. How well prepared are you? From the perspective of someone who has been involved in over 100 due diligence investigations on both the buy side and the sell side in New Zealand, the United States and Europe, normally not very! A T Consulting works with businesses to prepare them for due diligence
If the Vendor is planning a Vendor Due Diligence process (usually when there are competing acquirers), then this makes that process far more effective as the analysis is prepared in advance of that process and remedial action can be taken to address areas of concern.
Without Vendor Due Diligence, the value proposition is more focused on the Vendor being prepared for any curveballs being pitched during negotiations. |
Having been both a provider and recipient of information during the due diligence process, I know what a time-consuming distraction due diligence can be for a Target management team.
It is debilitating for even the most resilient of managers and takes away their focus from what they are paid to be doing – running the business effectively. As a direct result, very often the Business performance suffers during and immediately after an acquisition. With an intimate understanding of the due diligence requirements A T Consulting will work with the Vendor to manage the information flow during and after due diligence. |
