What is a Vendor Due Diligence?
A Vendor Due Diligence (VDD) is a financial review of a sales object on behalf of seller which illuminates questions and issues that are relevant to potential buyers of the business.
Analyses and findings related to financial and tax issues are presented to the seller and are summarised in a report that later is shared with potential buyers. This gives buyers a quick and good understanding of the business’ financial situation and development.
