For all forms of investors, due diligence is likely to emerge as a key step of the transaction process. Investors, banks and private equity houses consider due diligence as critical when considering the funding of:
- a management buy-out (MBO);
- a management buy-in (MBI); or
- an independent investment.
RSM’s private equity due diligence service will provide you with the financial information you need to assess your management buy-out, buy-in or other investment. Our reputation for thoroughness means you can transact with more confidence, knowing that any issues have been properly reviewed and thought through.
The specifics of the due diligence activity will change with every deal, but our private equity due diligence service will provide you with:
- a summary of the key aspect of the business;
- a detailed analysis of underlying historic performance, cash flows, assets and liabilities of the target business;

- a review of the underlying financial systems and controls;
