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.
