Due diligence readiness

Group 18 runs a red-team exercise that simulates how an acquirer's diligence team will read the organization. Over two to three weeks it identifies the findings that would move valuation, and returns a prioritized remediation plan with owners and sequence.

What we deliver

Built to be owned.

  • Diligence-style review of financials, structure, key-person risk, and systems
  • Findings ranked by valuation impact and time to remediate
  • Remediation plan with owners, sequence, and evidence required
  • Data-room readiness and a rehearsed management narrative

How it works

Three stages, one owner on the client side from day one.

  1. 01

    Simulate the buyer

    A team that has sat on the acquiring side reviews the business the way a diligence team will, without the courtesy.

  2. 02

    Rank the findings

    Each finding is scored on what it does to valuation and how long it takes to fix, so leadership works the right list.

  3. 03

    Remediate and rehearse

    Group 18 stays on to close the priority findings and prepare leadership for the questions that will be asked.
