Sell-Side

We support you in conducting a Vendor Due Diligence or Vendor Assistance and prepare a complete report on the company to be sold.

Our Vendor Due Diligence and Vendor Assistance reports are designed to provide potential buyers with an informative and comprehensive overview of the financial and tax situation of the company. The report aims to enable interested parties to make informed and objective decisions.

The benefits of a Vendor Due Diligence and Vendor Assistance are:

Objective, transparent, and comprehensible presentation of the financial situation of the target company
Early identification of value drivers and impairments
Reduction of transaction costs for the management of the target company and other parties involved in the transaction
Promotion of investor engagement
Targeted management of the sale process, including timing
Informed purchase offers
Controlled release of commercially sensitive information at all times (which can be particularly important in bidding competitions)
