DUE DILIGENCEDue Diligence can often be the most stressful time during a business sale.
You have spent time on marketing and meeting several prospective buyers and have finally struck a deal and signed Heads of Terms (or Heads of Agreement).
Now you have to go through the microscopic process of Due Diligence. This is the buyer (and his/her advisers) checking your company over thoroughly, both from a legal and an accounting perspective.
For an idea of the process we have attached a very simple Due Diligence Questionnaire
here - this is only a 7 page document. If you want we can provide a more comprehensive 27 page version and no doubt there are even more rigorous questionnaires available.
Buyers If you have found a business for sale which is not a client of ours we can provide a comprehensive valuation report as the start of the due diligence process. Please see our
Business Valuations page.
