Due-diligence
We conduct comprehensive or specific audits of financial statements for the purchase or sale of companies. We reduce transaction risk by providing an independent and detailed business assessment.
At VERUM, we obtain all the necessary information to objectively value and determine the final price of a company acquisition, the structure of the transaction, and the required guarantees. Conversely, we can also assess the advisability of withdrawing from the purchase due to identified risks or the emergence of new information.
Due diligence: Economic and financial analysis
It consists of a rigorous and detailed purchase audit that affects both the financial statements and the valuation of tangible and intangible assets.
Due diligence: Legal analysis
We analyze the legal aspects by reviewing contracts, corporate matters, and potential litigation. This allows us to avoid discovering hidden commitments or agreements that could jeopardize the transaction.
We identify and quantify potential synergies, any hidden liabilities related to the guarantees provided, incidental matters, and possible tax, environmental, and labor contingencies concerning the business’s personnel.
With all this, we reduce the transaction risk by providing the buyer with an independent and detailed business assessment. Once the review process is complete, and as the final result of the Due Diligence process, VERUM provides a report that includes:
- The commercial review
- The review of industrial and technological aspects
- The review of the company’s assets and liabilities
- The review of future projections
- Management
- Personnel
- The accounting review
- The tax review
- The legal review.
