Year-end due diligence

Odds are that we all have a list of things we want or need to get done by the end of the year – and, with the end of the year getting closer, that list probably keeps getting longer.

This is certainly the case for both potential buyers and sellers of a business, as you can imagine. For any number of reasons, not having an acquisition carry over to the new year offers many advantages. Trying to get an acquisition closed by the end of the year can mean that those crucial, final pieces of diligence (such as equipment appraisals) are often needed at the last minute, and the parties often want to include the current year’s capital expenditures in the valuations and final purchase agreements. 

It can be very difficult to find professional service providers of just about any kind around the holidays and the end of the year. That’s not the case with our team at Capitale Analytics, however. We’re always here and ready to scope assignments with flexibility and creativity so that even large assignments can be completed efficiently on tight end-of-year deadlines. For those wanting to complete a sale or acquisition by the end of the year, it’s the perfect holiday gift.
