Our Due Diligence Process

1. Financial Review

When we represent buyers, we typically:
– Validate pro‑forma EBITDA
– Justify add‑backs and non‑recurring expenses
– Assess the appropriate level of normal working capital
– Comment on value drivers and operating cash flows
– Comment on net debt position and working capital
– Challenge the reasonableness of forecasts and projections
– Challenge the assumptions underlying the valuation
– Review related‑party transactions and standalone costs

When we represent sellers, we typically:
– Organise, maintain and provide due diligence materials to the buyer
– Help negotiate business aspects of the definitive agreement
– Provide an independent review of the overall value established for the business

2. Financial Statements & Accounting Policies

We inspect the target company’s historical financial statements and accounting policies and procedures. These reviews usually cover:
