M&A Due Diligence: Lock In On Potential Risks & Synergies

Over 50% of M&A deals fail, often due to shallow preparation and foresight. Robust due diligence clarifies all the facts, risks and outcomes of a potential deal across not only finance and operations but also HR, IT and other key business functions.

Core M&A due diligence activities

  1. Legal and Financial Analysis
    Review your target’s financial metrics and performance, internal controls, growth profile and potential litigation risks. From production capabilities to intellectual property, you’ll see every vulnerability or opportunity ahead.
  2. Valuation
    Get a measured, data-driven valuation with Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) modeling to project the outlook of the deal years out. Ensure that value is attainable based on customer insights and board input.
  3. Optimization
    Refine your deal strategy and the road after close:
  • Are there new tax opportunities you can leverage?
  • Will you need to consolidate or enact other efficiency measures?
  • Will you adopt the IT and HR systems the target uses?
  • How much change will you need to invest in and orchestrate?
