Vendor due diligence: defend your valuation.
Find the issues before buyers do, control the evidence, and defend valuation. A streamlined, data-driven examination for sellers and their advisors preparing a merger, acquisition or investment round.
What the examination covers
The full five-domain platform, applied from the seller's side, with the depth a demanding buyer will expect.
- Technology environment analysis: value, risks, scalability, technical debt
- Code audit: maintainability, scalability, cyber vulnerabilities and IP risks
- Cyber pentesting: black box and grey box methodologies
- IP risk assessment: open-source component licensing
- Team assessment: software-team dynamics and workflow risks
- Budget audit: feasibility of the technology development spend
- Commercial audit: nine-KPI evaluation of the sales organisation
- AI audit: 360-degree analysis of AI relevance and scalability
Why sellers commission it
Enhanced valuation: issues found early are fixed or explained, not discovered by the buyer at the worst moment.
Streamlined transactions: a credible, source-traceable VDD pack answers most buyer questions before they are asked, compressing the diligence phase.
Strategic advantage: sellers who control the evidence control the negotiation.
Frequently asked questions
A technology due diligence commissioned by the seller before a transaction. It examines technology, code, cybersecurity, commercial execution and AI, producing an evidence pack that buyers can rely on.
Ideally two to three months before going to market, so material findings can be remediated or framed. With AI-assisted intake the examination itself takes days, not weeks.
In our model, when a deal proceeds the target can carry the full diligence as vendor due diligence, which means early exploration costs the fund close to nothing.
