Financial Due Diligence
Corporate acquirers, equity investors and debt funders all need to understand whether an investment opportunity stands up to detailed scrutiny.
CFCP critically evaluates business plans, financial models and deal structures. We have wide ranging experience providing due diligence services on mid market transactions both to debt and equity providers as well as corporate clients.
We provide our clients with clear advice in relation to:
We identify problems early in the process. Where appropriate, we provide clear advice and evidence to allow a renegotiation /restructuring of a transaction in the light of demonstrable changes to the original proposition. We also propose alternative structures, where needed, to work around technical or commercial issues that arise in the due diligence process.
Our differentiators are: clear communication of issues; absolute focus on delivering within timescale; flexibility; personal commitment to projects by our partners and staff; and value for money. We also cover issues which need to be addressed as part of the post-deal implementation.
Together with financial due diligence we also provide Vendor Due Diligence and Reporting Accountant services. Vendor Due Diligence can assist in both disposal work and where institutional investors are being sought and we can call upon our lead advisory and general due diligence expertise to ensure such reports are focused in the appropriate areas and are sufficiently comprehensive to meet the needs of the investing parties. For a flotation we can offer Reporting Accountant services to support the financial adviser’s due diligence requirement on the company looking to float (see section on floations).
