Vendor Due Diligence

0upvotes

Commissions and controls sell-side due diligence -- scope, provider selection, reliance architecture, and the handling of adverse findings -- when you need a VDD pack that survives a buyer's confirmatory diligence rather than one that collapses in exclusivity.

# Vendor Due Diligence

## When to use

Use this skill once the exit route is chosen and before the advisor drafts the CIM, because the VDD databook is what the CIM's financials must reconcile to. It is also the right skill when a known issue exists and the team is deciding whether to disclose it, fix it first, or leave it for the buyer to find. It is worth commissioning where the buyer set is broad or where lenders need a report they can rely on; on a bilateral sale to one known buyer it often is not.

## What it does

Produces: a VDD scope specification by workstream; a provider and reliance plan; a working protocol that keeps the sponsor in control of scope without touching conclusions; a decision framework for adverse findings; and the reconciliation rules that keep the VDD, the databook, the CIM and the model telling one story.

### Step 1 -- Decide what the VDD is buying
