Due Diligence
Our due diligences help you gain clarity when deciding on the acquisition of (target) companies. Whether commercial due diligence, technology due diligence or a combination of both – we support you in your purchase decisions and provide you with the necessary information that may lead to adjustments of the purchase price or deal terms. Additionally, we provide you with an overview of necessary measures for post-acquisition integration on the basis of the analyses we carry out.

Commercial Due Diligence
Within the scope of a Commercial Due Diligence we analyze the commercial aspects of a target company. Specifically, we look at the business model and value chain of the company, the market and competition in which the company operates, its customer structure and the products or product portfolio. Special focus is always on the potential market risks, competition and business model. This way we ensure that you invest in a well-functioning company.

Our IT/Technology Due Diligence brings transparency to the large and further growing area of digitalization. We provide a 360° assessment of the technologies used, developed and delivered. Our approach is highly individual and is always based on the business model or value chain of the target company. Depending on the focus, our experts analyze the application landscape, infrastructure, organization and costs. Risks, hidden costs and potential are identified based on the investment scenario. Our experts act with best care and attention and have an extensive understanding of both the buy and sell side as well as the entire transaction process.

Our Digital Due Diligence is the combined package of Commercial and Technology Due Diligence. It is precisely this combination of both topics that is becoming increasingly relevant for investors. The focus of the respective DD can always be determined individually – depending on investor requirements and the targets business model.

The focus of a Marketing & Sales Due Diligence is – as the name already suggests – on the marketing and sales divisions. The examination of these areas is based on the individual business model as well as the value chain of the respective company. The result is a detailed overview of the existing organization, processes and competencies in marketing and sales as well as a realistic assessment of the risks and potential of the target areas.
