Berdon’s due diligence process leaves no stone unturned and often finds stones others may miss. Hands-on throughout the entire process, our objective is to help you identify the value drivers, evaluate the deal breakers, and develop negotiating points essential to helping you make an informed business decision.
From “bid support” during the auctioning phase to detailed financial due diligence once exclusivity is granted, we take a practical, risk-based approach to every engagement and have been effective in helping clients:
understand the target’s control environment
identify and evaluate the target’s key business and operating risks
evaluate the quality of the target’s assets, reported earnings, and recurring cash flows
normalize the target’s historical margins and operating profits
assess the reliability of the target’s projections and determine if the underlying assumptions are reasonable
identify questionable transactions and issues that may affect the purchase price
