Integrity in Every Transaction
AI-Enhanced Due Diligence backed by 20+ years of deal-making expertise.
In mergers and acquisitions, what you don't see is often what impacts the valuation most. Traditional due diligence looks backward, verifying historical accuracy. While essential, it fails to fully capture the complexities of tomorrow's performance. At Wideal Oy, we don't just verify history; we validate the future potential of your investment.
The Power of Experience Technology is powerful, but it cannot replace judgment. With over 20 years of experience and hundreds of Financial Due Diligence projects completed, I understand the anatomy of a deal. I know exactly where risks hide in a balance sheet and how to distinguish temporary fluctuations from structural issues. This deep human expertise is the foundation of every analysis we deliver.
Case Study: Unlocking a Stalled M&A Process Through Vendor FDD
"A company had been struggling to find a buyer for several years, with multiple exit attempts stalling during the final stages. I was brought in to conduct a comprehensive Vendor Financial Due Diligence (VDD) to identify the friction points preventing the sale.
My investigation uncovered significant systemic errors in both the statutory accounting and internal reporting frameworks. These discrepancies had previously created a 'trust gap' with potential acquirers.
The Transformation:
Audit & Rectification: I meticulously identified and corrected accounting errors, ensuring full regulatory compliance.
Transparency: I rebuilt the internal reporting model to provide a clear, accurate view of the company's true financial health.
Restored Confidence: By presenting a 'clean' and validated financial package, we provided potential buyers with the certainty they required.
The Result: With the financial foundation finally solidified and transparent, the company was successfully sold shortly after the revised FDD report was presented to the market
Why Invest in Vendor Due Diligence (VDD)?
Selling a company is a high-stakes marathon. Waiting for a buyer to find errors in your books is a recipe for price-chipping and deal fatigue. Investing in a Vendor Financial Due Diligence before hitting the market puts the steering wheel back in your hands.
Key Benefits for the Seller:
Eliminate Deal-Breakers Early: Identify and rectify accounting inconsistencies or tax risks before they are discovered by a potential acquirer.
Maintain Price Integrity: By presenting a transparent, validated financial package, you prevent the buyer from using "hidden surprises" as leverage to negotiate the price down.
Accelerate Deal Speed: A pre-vetted data room significantly shortens the buyer's due diligence period, moving you to the closing table faster.
Build Instant Credibility: Providing a Big 4-level independent report signals professional management and instills immediate confidence in institutional investors and strategic buyers.
Control the Narrative: VDD allows you to present your Adjusted EBITDA and growth story accurately, ensuring the buyer sees the true underlying potential of the business.
"A deal that stays in due diligence too long is a deal that dies. VDD ensures your financials are an asset, not a liability
