A solid foundation for your decisions

What will the net proceeds be after the sale? How do I optimise the selling price of my business or the price of one of my business activities? How do I capitalise on synergies following an acquisition? Am I not offering too much?

These are all good questions when you’re buying or selling a business. It’s a transaction that concerns significant amounts, impacts your future, and therefore must be executed properly. We provide a solid foundation for your decisions.

Our Transaction services

Due diligence buy-side

Is this company really as good as is being presented? What is the margin development per client? Will we come across any liabilities in the future? What are the working capital requirements? All very valid questions. The stakes are high when acquiring a company. A due diligence investigation provides the required insight.

Vendor due diligence

Are EBITDA adjustments to be expected? Will buyers face any unforeseen debts? How much of the bid will be left? All good questions. Selling a business can be stressful if there's uncertainty about the figures, and about the conditions of the sale. Vendor due diligence or vendor assist can provide the required insight and support for the sales process.
