Acquisition & Vendor Diligence Services:

Whether you are participating in an auction process or making a speculative approach, we help you make the best-informed investment decisions through robust analysis of key issues.

Investors increasingly demand comprehensive information before committing resources and capital. When selling your business or division, it is crucial to demonstrate your company’s full financial strength. Our vendor due diligence services ensure you present an accurate and compelling financial profile.

As an alternative to a full vendor due diligence report, a seller can opt for a more cost-effective vendor assist report or factbook. These lighter reports provide prospective buyers with reliable figures and analyses for their valuation and diligence processes. These reports are particularly useful for smaller transactions with fewer potential buyers. A vendor assist report also often includes insights into business models, client bases, taxation, and other key elements, giving potential buyers valuable information for their initial bids and due diligence investigations.

Refinancing due diligence is essential when a company seeks to restructure existing debt or secure new financing. This process involves thoroughly evaluating the company's financial standing to negotiate favourable terms. Whether dealing with stagnant growth, falling margins, increasing creditor pressure, investment backlogs, or adverse market conditions, Deloitte assists companies and their management. We begin with a 13-week cash flow projection to determine liquidity requirements and identify the root causes of declining performance. An action plan is then developed, leveraging our extensive turnaround experience to help management implement effective strategies. Throughout this process, we support management in communicating with banks, shareholders, and other stakeholders to achieve optimal results.

Deloitte offers a comprehensive analysis of the operational aspects of companies being acquired or sold, providing insights into key value drivers and risks. This facilitates accurate valuations and allows for the testing and quantification of assumed upsides and synergies. By integrating sector specialists and functional experts with our Operational Due Diligence team, we deliver in-depth insights for both pre-deal diligence and post-deal value creation.

We support investors in executing successful deals by unlocking valuable industry and company insights. Our commercial due diligence validates your investment thesis and identifies the true value and potential performance of acquisition targets. Our detailed analysis provides insights into revenue and growth projections, industry dynamics, legislative impacts, and value-creation opportunities, enabling you to make informed strategic decisions.

In the modern business landscape, IT is a critical factor in post-deal business development, integration, and separation programs. Our IT due diligence services help you anticipate technology-related costs and challenges, ensuring a smooth transition and integration process.

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) due diligence complements our suite of traditional diligence services, offering a holistic view of a company's value, performance, and prospects. ESG frameworks and standards enable investors and stakeholders to evaluate and measure a company's societal and environmental impact, as well as its corporate governance practices.

Navigate operational challenges and accelerate value creation by leveraging our global network of deal professionals with deep functional and sector expertise. We help you critically evaluate the risks and opportunities that matter for informed decision-making, negotiations, and strategic and financial value realization, ensuring success at deal speed.
