In merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, the terms of the deal are governed by the letter of intent. This is a non-binding document that contains the terms of the transaction between a buyer and a seller. Within these agreements, there is almost always a clause that permits the performance of due diligence of the target company.
The goal of due diligence is to verify all material facts that relate to the transaction, and buyers are permitted a finite time period to complete their evaluation. When performed effectively, the due diligence procedures can mitigate potential deal and post-close headaches. To maximize the diligence process, it is important to avoid some of the common mistakes in these types of engagements.
By maximizing the due diligence process, some of major problems associated with transactions can be avoided. This includes not only the associated costs of overpaying for the business, but also incremental costs that might be incurred due to changes in customer relationships, suboptimal capital structure or regulatory risks that have not been accounted for ahead of the deal.
