Informed investment decisions, with no surprises

Exhaustive risk and opportunity analysis for informed, confident investment decisions.

The challenge

Investing in a company without thorough prior analysis means taking unnecessary risks. Hidden tax contingencies, undisclosed litigation, unfavourable contracts, or operational problems can turn an apparent opportunity into a financial nightmare. What is not detected before closing is paid for afterwards --and usually at a far higher cost.

Our solution

Our due diligence teams analyse every critical aspect of the target business in depth: financial, tax, legal, and operational. We identify risks, quantify contingencies, and uncover opportunities that can influence the price and the structure of the deal.

Process

How we work

1

Scope definition

We design a tailored work plan, defining the critical areas to review based on the transaction type, sector, and preliminary risk assessment.

2

Document analysis

We conduct an exhaustive review of data room documentation: financial statements, contracts, litigation, tax status, permits, insurance, and human resources.

3

Risk identification

We detect and quantify contingencies, price adjustments, potential deal breakers, and areas requiring contractual protection (representations and warranties).

4

Report & recommendations

We issue a clear, actionable report with prioritised findings, risk quantification, and concrete recommendations for the purchase agreement negotiation.

Our due diligence processes are distinguished by their practical, decision-oriented approach. We do not merely identify risks: we quantify them, prioritise them, and propose concrete solutions for the negotiation. Every report is a negotiation tool, not an academic exercise.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of due diligence do you perform?
We perform financial, tax, legal, employment, environmental, technology, and operational due diligence. The scope is tailored to each transaction: not all areas are required every time, and our team recommends the most efficient approach.
How long does a due diligence process take?
A standard process takes between 3 and 6 weeks. Duration depends on the size of the company, quality of available documentation, and the number of areas under review. In urgent situations, we can compress timelines.
What documentation access do you need?
We work through virtual data rooms (VDRs) that provide controlled, traceable access to documentation. We provide a detailed document request list at the outset of the process.
What are red flags in a due diligence?
Red flags are warning signals that may indicate significant risks: accounting inconsistencies, undisclosed litigation, tax contingencies, excessive customer concentration, contracts with unusual terms, or abnormal turnover of key personnel.
What is vendor due diligence?
Vendor due diligence is commissioned by the seller before launching the sale process. It allows the seller to identify and resolve issues proactively, accelerate the process, and build confidence with potential buyers.
What is a virtual data room and how does it work?
A virtual data room (VDR) is a secure online platform where all process documentation is hosted. It controls who accesses which documents, logs all activity, and facilitates orderly, confidential information exchange.
How much does a due diligence process cost?
Costs depend on scope, complexity, and the size of the target company. We provide a fixed-fee proposal before commencing work, with no surprises. The investment in due diligence pays for itself many times over if it avoids even a single material contingency.
