From acquisitions and mergers through to divestments:
Thorough due diligence analysis is the foundation of every successful transaction. It aims to identify the financial risks and opportunities. Our financial due diligence covers detailed analysis on accounting and profit and loss, cash flow statements and key operational factors that play an important role in the purchase decision. By delivering analysis that is tailored to your specific situation, we can provide targeted answers to your questions and identify potential value, financial risks or possible deal-breakers at an early stage.
We can work together with you and your team to develop a due diligence plan that is customised to your needs
whether you are a buyer or seller. Our experts accompany you throughout the entire transaction, from process planning through to discussing the final reports with the buyer, seller and investors. Our portfolio for the sell-side includes vendor assistance with Factbook and vendor due diligence. For the buy-side, we support with red-flag reports, buy-side due diligence reports and closing accounts reviews. You can rely on our precise profit and loss calculations, working capital analyses, cash flow statements, and analyses of net debt and quality of earnings (adjusted EBITDA analysis). We combine the results of our historical analysis with the results from market and commercial due diligence to evaluate the strength of the business plan. Based on a systematic analysis of a company’s value drivers and the recommendations we develop from this analysis, our clients always have all of the information they need. That’s how we generate real added value.
You can also rely on us at further stages in the transaction process: We can show you the effects that the results of our detailed analyses will have on the purchase price negotiations and the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). We also provide clarity about which aspects are most important for potential buyers – particularly for private equity investors or banks. We work closely together with our experts in tax due diligence and legal due diligence, and can access the entire global PwC network at any time. On top of this, we use the latest digital tools and place a strong emphasis on efficient data analysis. Our Deal Analytics team is always available to support us by evaluating and visualising complex volumes of data in order to generate the most valuable insights possible.
