Vendor Due Diligence (VDD)

In a climate where it has become harder to achieve good returns from disposals, vendor-initiated due diligence can be a vital tool in achieving a successful sale. This is particularly true in an auction process. Data rooms are generally disappointing, however, the due diligence report is designed to be made available to prospective buyers to facilitate better informed bids, reducing the risk of subsequent price reductions. As the ultimate purchaser is recognised as the addressee of the report, they have the benefit of this piece of independent due diligence.

KPMG vendor due diligence:

1. provides a robust assessment of the equity value creation story
2. provides a level playing field for bidders
3. enables a range of bidders to take a thorough, in depth look at the business.

VDD seeks to increase efficiency of the deal process by eliminating duplicated questions and requests for more data from potential bidders. In addition, the vendor can receive early notice of any issues that could affect the deal, so that they can be assessed and dealt with as appropriate.
