Types of Financial Due Diligence
There are generally two types of Financial due diligence. One of the buy side Financial Due diligence and the sell side due diligence.
Buy-Side Due Diligence
The person who completes the financial due diligence is the business buyer or acquirer who intends to buy the target business in question. A family office, sovereign wealth fund, venture capitalist, strategic investor, investment bank, pension fund, insurance company, etc. are all examples of potential buyers. The financial health of the target company is the main subject of the buy-side FDD. Data on the company’s revenue, expenses, cash flow, balance sheet, debtors, creditors, profitability, growth rate, market share, etc. must be gathered. To fully understand the target’s financial situation, a buyer looking to buy a company or a start-up business would carry out buy-side financial due diligence. In a perfect world, the acquirer’s interests would be met and the target company’s financial position would be established as strong, stable, and with a bright future.
Sell-Side Financial Due diligence
The seller or vendor of a business that is being sold, on the other hand, performs sell-side financial due diligence. This process concentrates on areas of interest for potential acquirers or buyers to avoid snags in the transaction. Sell-side financial due diligence benefits the seller by highlighting issues that might otherwise go undetected through an internal audit. A sell-side financial due diligence programme requires the same work; it is simply approached from a different perspective.
