Know what you are buying, investing in or lending against before you commit.
Good diligence goes beyond confirming the numbers. It explains what drives earnings, where the cash really goes and which risks should change the price or the contract.
We scope each review around your investment thesis and the questions your committee will ask. Findings are prioritised, quantified where possible and linked to practical deal protections.
Quality of earnings, normalised working capital, net debt and cash conversion analysis to support valuation and the completion mechanism.
Review of historical tax compliance, open exposures and the effect of current rules, including the 2025 reform Acts, on the target and the structure.
Market, customer and competitor analysis that tests whether the business plan is realistic in the Nigerian and regional context.
Assessment of processes, systems, supply chain and people to identify cost, continuity and integration risks.
Independent reports prepared for sellers, giving bidders a credible starting point and helping to keep the sale timetable on track.
Focused reviews for banks, development finance institutions and private equity funds assessing a borrower or portfolio company.
We start with your investment case and agree the issues that matter most, so effort goes where it affects value.
We work through the data room, management sessions and site visits, flagging red flags early rather than at the end.
Findings are translated into price adjustments, warranties, indemnities or conditions, working alongside your legal advisers.
You receive a clear, prioritised report and a briefing for decision-makers, with insights carried into integration planning.
It depends on the size of the target, the quality of the data room and the scope agreed. We set out a timetable at the start and report emerging issues as we go.
Yes. Many clients prefer a single team covering several workstreams. It reduces duplication, gives management one set of questions and produces a joined-up view of risk.
We do. Vendor due diligence helps sellers find and address issues before going to market, and gives bidders a credible, independent basis for their offers.
Whether you are buying, selling, raising capital or rethinking your balance sheet, talk to our deals team early.
