Diligence

Our buyer due diligence reports help you truly understand the business value behind your investments and improve your negotiation position. Technical Due Diligences are our core business. We also complement strategic and commercial due diligences, with a focus on Artificial Intelligence.

Buyer-side due diligence

  • We identify the risks, opportunities and associated recommendations plans of your investment.

    During a technical due diligence we meticulously examine every layer of your company's technology stack. Our seasoned experts possess the acumen and seniority to swiftly pinpoint areas warranting in-depth investigation. Key areas of technological scrutiny encompass strategy alignment, talent assessment, artificial intelligence utilisation, technology architecture, data management, software code evaluation, operational efficiency, security protocols, compliance adherence, and intellectual property ownership or innovation.

    Over the years we have developed a very robust methodology around our due diligence process, complemented by a suite of supporting tools. Our approach yields impartial and objective insights into both opportunities and challenges, with a commitment to providing practical, actionable recommendations. Upon request, we remain dedicated to supporting the successful implementation of our recommendations.

Our vendor due diligence brings us as the trusted partners to the sellers. We approach a vendor due diligence with a "buy-side" perspective, offering insights and coaching to senior management. By anticipating and addressing potential challenges upfront, we empower them to mitigate risks proactively.

Vendor-side due diligence
