Due diligence

If you are considering purchasing or investing in another business, you need to be confident in what you are buying and your likely return.

We can help you by conducting comprehensive due diligence on the target company to ensure that:

  • You are paying a fair price
  • You are absolutely clear about what you are buying or investing in
  • The tax implications on any forecasts or estimates are reasonable
  • The legal documentation and deal structure reflect and mitigate areas of potential risk

What can assist with the following:

  • Preparation of a taxation due diligence report covering the corporation tax, PAYE/NIC and VAT position of the company and highlighting areas of risk and potential liabilities in order for these to be addressed as part of the transaction process
  • Advising on tax efficient structuring of the transaction in order to maximise tax efficiency
  • Advising on deal costs which may be deductible for corporation tax purposes
  • Support throughout the transaction process including review and advice in relation to the Sale & Purchase Agreement and Tax Deed and advising in relation to tax warranties and indemnities
