Is IT due diligence in your business acquisition plan?
Don't overlook IT systems when buying a business
You've found the perfect acquisition and due diligence is underway. But have you factored the company's IT systems into the process? Surprisingly, while being very aware of the importance of commercial due diligence, many otherwise astute entrepreneurs overlook IT due diligence; imagine walking in on day-one to find IT systems running slowly and underperforming; and the hollow feeling as you try to estimate the unplanned time and financial costs lying ahead when you should be concentrating your efforts on growing the business…
The warm glow of reassurance after your IT due diligence check
Now feel the warm glow of reassurance you'll enjoy from knowing you put an independent Arapiki IT health check on your due diligence checklist. How good does it feel to understand every dimension of the business's IT systems and know you've planned and budgeted for any required corrective actions?
And then there's the discount you negotiated on the sale price… All because you had the foresight to commission an Arapiki IT health check covering everything from the secrets of the company's network, desktops, servers, and infrastructure to revealing in-depth interviews with the IT team. When you're buying a business it gives you power and the ability to make informed decisions. (And if you're selling, imagine how a streamlined IT system will support your selling price and reassure your buyer.)
A full report, detailed action plan and convenient fixed-price fee
Following the IT due diligence check we'll provide you with a full report, including identification of all areas requiring attention. If required, we'll also provide a detailed action plan as well as fully-costed and justified remedial proposals. A fixed-price fee for your check and report means you can budget with accuracy. Depending on the size of the organisation the process typically takes five working days.
