Diligent and Structured are our core beliefs

Often we hear the phrase "no need to boil the ocean", yet the robustness of business assumptions established during the M&A pre-deal phase are a key factor to the future success of any transformation. At Diligent Advisory, we're happy to "dig in deep" and thoroughly analyse your business assumptions that drive material returns in your investment plan.

Technology Due Diligence

We support small to mid-cap private equity portfolio businesses to help you to identify transaction value upsides, opportunities and deal risks. We can also assist by partnering with other consulting firms to cover detailed technology areas of scope.
We do so through detailed and rigorous analysis, using industry standard approaches, structured thought leadership, and our experience in:

Assessing high-tech platforms, applications, and hardware
Data management maturity
Digital readiness and assessing the extend of "digital divide"
IT and product technology cost structures & project management capability
Operational & Technology processes
Technology teams, suppliers and skill gaps

Sell-side & Buy-side Assist

In a febrile market, valuing a business properly is a challenge, and discovering the optimum price to achieve a divestment is more complex. We can help you with a structured approach that helps the seller and Management through to a successful sale. In doing so you provide the buyer with greater certainty over the operating perimeter.
We can also support buy-side teams with insights into potential risks before the due diligence process. We will provide you with sizing, suitability and strategic decision support in:

Complex carve-outs
Complex technology landscapes

Seeking the right complementary business to

fit your portfolio
