What is Financial Due Diligence?

A valuation tells you what a business is worth on paper. Due diligence tells you whether that number can be trusted. Before you acquire a company, take on an investor, enter a joint venture, or buy into a partnership, Ampsy Consultancy verifies the financial reality behind the numbers — checking that reported revenue, liabilities, and working capital actually reflect the state of the business you're about to commit to.

What Our Due Diligence Covers

Quality of Earnings: We test whether reported profit reflects sustainable, recurring earnings or one-off items that inflate the numbers.

Working Capital Review: A close look at receivables, payables, and inventory to flag cash flow issues that don't show up on the surface.

Liabilities & Contingent Risk: Debt, guarantees, pending disputes, and off-balance-sheet exposure are identified before they become your problem.

Tax & Compliance Exposure: VAT, corporate tax, and regulatory filings are reviewed for gaps that could carry forward as your liability post-transaction.

Deal-Ready Reporting: Findings are delivered in a clear report you can use directly in negotiations, purchase agreements, or pricing adjustments.

Know What You're Actually Buying Into

The businesses that get burned in a deal are almost always the ones that skipped or rushed due diligence. Ampsy Consultancy gives you a clear, evidence-based picture of the target's financial health before you finalise terms, so surprises show up in the negotiation, not after the deal closes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A valuation estimates what a business is worth. Due diligence verifies whether the financial information behind that valuation is accurate and complete. The two are usually done together — valuation sets the price, due diligence tests whether that price is justified.

Ideally after an initial offer or letter of intent is agreed, but before the final purchase agreement is signed. This gives you a factual basis to adjust price or terms if issues are found, rather than discovering them after you're already committed.

That's exactly the point of running it before you sign. Findings can support a renegotiated price, specific warranties or indemnities in the purchase agreement, or in some cases, walking away from the deal entirely.

It depends on the size and complexity of the target business and how organised its records are, typically ranging from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. We'll scope a realistic timeline once we understand the transaction.
