Our Approach to Vendor Due Diligence
BCG’s vendor due diligence consulting combines deep industry expertise with rigorous analyses to boost value and pare sales-process risks. We go beyond obvious approaches and metrics to uncover value creation possibilities, chart strategic opportunity, and present that story in compelling ways
We focus on what buyers care about, tailor your sales approach to their needs, and help you repair value leaks. And as with all our transactions consulting, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with you and your other advisors from the outset, enabling you to focus on what matters most: your ongoing business.
The BCG Transaction Center deploys a practiced, customized process that includes:
The Outcome?
- a buyer-centric, fact-based assessment showcasing strategic fit
- a conceptual framework to execute the deal; upsides beyond business-as-usual; quantitative answers to “what-if” questions.
Highly valued by bidders and commercial banks, our independent, unbiased opinions raise buyers’ and lenders’ confidence—and often the price buyers are willing to pay.
Vendor due diligence creates substantial value on a standalone basis or as part of our end-to-end divestiture consulting. Our comprehensive process supports you at every step, from reviewing your portfolio and formulating an exit strategy through executing and closing the best possible deal.
