Soft due diligence delivers hard results for agribusinesses
Due Diligence (DD) put simply, is an investigation or audit of a target by a buyer, to evaluate historic performance and future potential. However, more conventional approaches relying solely on past documented performance of the assets being acquired, can sell buyers short. It is critical to evaluate the whole supply chain in which the target is merely a single entity.
Hard DD follows a pro-forma, lookback approach, usually involving legal and financial information on a target. While this formal approach is important, it usually provides very little insight into the future operational or commercial capacity and value generation potential of the target. The addition of Technical Due Diligence (TDD) and Commercial Due Diligence (CDD), which include the focus on soft areas of the target, should provide much deeper operational and strategic insights. This is particularly critical in the domain of private firms, which are off-limits from the scrutiny of publicly quoted exchanges or stock markets.
