The growth of vendor due diligence

Article Abstract:

It has become increasingly common in the UK for companies seeking a purchaser to commission financial and commercial due diligence. Financial due diligence will generally cover areas such as past trading and cash flow trends and a review of the prospective financial information disclosed to potential purchasers. Commercial due diligence will generally look at areas such as the company's competitive position in its particular market. The availability of vendor-initiated due diligence allows the potential purchaser to avoid a significant part of the bid preparation costs.
