Our Financial Due Diligence Team is a proven and trusted adviser to many of the UK’s mid-market private equity and debt funds. Working quickly and effectively the team supports multiple transaction types across a wide range of sectors.
As a highly experienced team, we use our collective analytical and commercial acumen and experience to add value to each and every client assignment. As well as focussing on risk mitigation and identifying areas of concern and potential concern in transactions, our approach is to offer practical advice and solutions to enable our clients to progress their deals effectively.
We maintain a regular dialogue with our clients throughout the course of our financial due diligence investigations so that any issues are raised and debated early on. Our conclusions and resultant recommendations are clear, commercially oriented and unequivocal.
We also apply our experience and expertise to produce Vendor Due Diligence for those who are planning to sell their business or raise investment. Vendor due diligence provides early insight into areas which are likely to be of concern to a buyer, providing the opportunity to address them before entering a business sale process. Equally, a full financial vendor due diligence report gives interested parties comfort regarding the financials of a target, allowing the granting of exclusivity to be deferred. In this way it can offer a greater measure of control over the process itself.
Financial Modelling
An intelligently constructed, integrated financial model which can be used to model various scenarios and to test outcomes, is a key element of most transactional processes. Our Transaction Support Team offers specialist financial modelling capabilities either as part of a full-service offering, alongside our M&A Advisory services or as a stand-alone service.
Our Team’s deep understanding of what is required of a transactional model and how it will be used during the process by a variety of parties, means that we can quickly and efficiently build or evolve financial models to make them fit for purpose.
As with all our services, our financial models are built on a bespoke basis to reflect the dynamics of our clients’ individual businesses and they therefore fully reflect the specific financial characteristics of each company we work with.
