Pre-merger due diligence is a comprehensive review of a firm’s financial, operational, legal, commercial, and regulatory position before finalising a merger or acquisition. It helps identify risks, validate value, and ensure an informed decision.
Without proper due diligence, firms may face hidden liabilities, overvaluation, integration challenges, or legal and compliance issues after the deal. Due diligence ensures transparency, reduces risk, and protects both parties.
We assess all critical areas, including financials, commercial operations, tax compliance, HR, IT systems, governance, anti-bribery and corruption controls, health and safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental/social factors.
