Technical due diligence is important when making significant business decisions for mergers, acquisitions, and project financing transactions.
Technical due diligence thoroughly examines a company's technical and industrial assets, including its specialised equipment, production facilities, building and structures. The technical due diligence process aims to ascertain the asset condition, assess the facility's technical capability, review plant performance metrics, conduct quality analysis, estimate future maintenance, identify risk, and comply with industry standards.
Technical due diligence consulting is a critical process that provides a deep understanding of the technological capabilities of a target company. It uncovers potential technical risks and opportunities vital for strategic decision-making. A comprehensive technical due diligence report can prevent costly oversights, ensure a fair valuation, and facilitate successful transactions.
