Technology risk can derail your M&A deal

Whether you’re selling your business, advising on a deal, or acquiring a company, unvetted technology can lead to costly surprises. Hidden liabilities, outdated systems, or undervalued tech assets can erode value and delay closings.

  • Unassessed technology stacks risk over- or undervaluing your deal;
  • Hidden liabilities, such as security gaps, poor architecture or buggy code can scare off buyers;
  • Lack of advisory technology expertise complicates due diligence and can erode trust between parties;
  • Post-deal integration failures can become expensive and time-consuming.
