Vendor Due Diligence (VDD)

Vendor due diligence evaluates a vendor’s reliability and potential vulnerabilities before formalising a business relationship.

Vendor Due Diligence (VDD)

The problem:
To facilitate an efficient sales process, vendors or sellers need to provide potential buyers with clear and concise financial information about themselves. Such a financial review helps sellers control the process and information, create correct expectations, and proactively handle identified issues that might impact valuation. On the other hand, this information is crucial for buyers to gain confidence and insight into a business and its underlying profitability.

Our solution:
Eight International’s vendor due diligence (VDD) services bring peace of mind to both buyers and sellers. By providing an in-depth look at the financial health of the company being sold, VDD reports ensure greater control over all aspects of the sale to secure a fairer price.

As a part of due diligence as a seller, our teams carry out several tasks:

  • We conduct a comprehensive fiscal assessment of the companies being sold, follow a “VDD” or “Fact Book” approach depending on client needs, and provide support during Q&A sessions with potential investors.
  • We prepare clear, detailed VDD reports that provide an accurate financial overview of the company and objective business analysis.
