Financial Due Diligence

Buying and selling companies, assets or even making an investment in a major project can be risky. Objective due diligence can help mitigate these risks as well as highlight opportunities to create value and make a transaction successful.

Objective due diligence validates financial, operational and strategic assumptions to help maximise the value in a disposal, a refinancing exercise or acquisition.

Financial due diligence is essential when assessing whether to proceed with a transaction and can increase the likelihood of the transaction achieving its objectives. The due diligence process will help structure the deal and prepare our clients for negotiations.
