More UK SME sellers now prepare vendor due diligence reports upfront, giving buyers cleaner data but also raising questions about selective disclosure. For buyers, this shifts the focus to validating the report independently rather than starting from scratch.

We guide clients through reviewing these reports in the TRANSACT phase, flagging gaps and commissioning targeted buyer‑side checks where needed. This keeps momentum while ensuring you aren’t relying solely on seller‑prepared information.

The result? Faster timelines, fewer disputes, and deals that close with full visibility on the business you’re acquiring.
