Vendor Due Diligence
Adding value to your divestment process
In a competitive auction process or a dual-track process, when preparing a company for an initial public offering (IPO), a vendor due diligence report (VDD) can add substantial value for the seller. The reliance VDD report helps speeding up the process by providing the potential acquirers with a comprehensive analysis and detailed information about the company that is being sold.

Working closely with our clients, we aim to optimize the reporting prepared for the transaction process. We support our clients in deciding whether a Fact Book or reliance VDD is most appropriate to the envisaged transaction. A VDD report provides a consistent sales message, whilst maintaining a robust and independent view in order to provide the potential acquirers with comfort.
