Due diligence for business acquisitions and sales

Before a transaction, you need to understand what drives the business's value, where uncertainties remain and what the deal will require after completion. Keypoint helps you assess the business and build a basis for your next decision.

We can lead a coordinated due diligence engagement or a focused review. The questions examined are defined around the transaction and the information available.

When you need us

Ahead of an acquisition or sale, you need a basis that shows both the business conditions and the questions still to be resolved before a decision. We connect the review to the purpose of the transaction and identify assumptions, risks and areas requiring further investigation.

Support may be useful when testing acquisition assumptions, preparing information for a sale or complementing financial material with an assessment of organisation and delivery capability.

What the assignment can cover

The review can cover strategic, operational, commercial, organisational, financial, legal and technical matters. Operational work may examine responsibilities, procurement, supplier dependencies, logistics, production and service operations, as well as the actions and resources a transaction may require.

Keypoint tailors the scope to what you need to know. Audits and valuation opinions are carried out through relevant qualified specialists.

How we work

Keypoint leads and coordinates the review, combining its own experience with its specialist network. We explain the findings, unresolved questions and practical implications, with scope and specialist responsibilities defined in the assignment agreement.

Support implementing changes after a decision can be addressed in a further, separately scoped assignment.

What you can take forward

Depending on the agreed scope, the assignment can include:

  • A structured current-state assessment.
  • Prioritised risks and unanswered questions.
  • A basis for continued dialogue and planning the next step.

Tell us in broad terms whether you are considering a purchase, a sale or a specific review. Confidential transaction details can be discussed separately.
