What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01Sellers prepare for a sale by preparing financials.The legal position gets examined only when the buyer's advisers start asking.
- 02Missing registers, unassigned intellectual property, contracts without consents, undocumented shareholder loans and expired licences all surface at the point of maximum leverage for the buyer, and every one becomes a price adjustment.
In plain words
Vendor Due Diligence and Sale Readiness Review
A seller-side review of the company's legal position across corporate records, contracts, employment, intellectual property, property and regulatory matters, with a remediation plan and, where useful, a report you can share with bidders.
What good looks like
