Buy-side due diligence

Buy side due diligence

Before signing the deal, make sure you have a comprehensive understanding of the target. A well-executed due diligence provides peace of mind, strengthens your negotiation position, and offers a clear view of the target’s financial, commercial, operational, and strategic fundamentals. We identify key risks and value drivers on your behalf, ensuring your decisions are based on facts – not assumptions.

How we can help

Our buy-side due diligence combines historical data, analytical insight and market understanding into a coherent picture of the target company’s current position and future outlook. The objective is to reduce uncertainty, uncover opportunities, and support informed decision-making ahead of the transaction.

We support a wide range of strategic scenarios, such as: 

  • Acquiring a competitor to strengthen your core business

  • Adding products or services that complement your existing offering

  • Entering new markets or customer segments

  • Diversifying geographical or industry-specific risks 

  • Hedging against market volatility

We deliver an integrated view of the target’s financials, business performance, market positioning, and competitive landscape. Our analysis is grounded in deep sector experience and insights gained from thousands of successful transactions. We use advanced tools and interactive platforms to provide real-time transparency throughout the process.

Our work also covers potential synergies, sustainable profitability, cash flow dynamics, and other key operational aspects. When needed, we support the structuring of the deal itself.

Ultimately, you gain a clear, objective assessment of the target’s strengths, risks, and value creation levers – empowering you in negotiations, strategy and decision-making.
