D3 | Digital Due Diligence

Here to help you release under-realised value and mitigate binary risks in targets, portfolio businesses and exits through Digital Due Diligence.Our contacts in Private Equity told us they used to always commission commercial and financial DD, they added IT and then ESG to the standard DD set to reflect the changing demands on their businesses but Digital Due Diligence is still a gap, a blind spot or an afterthought. At the same time each of their portfolio businesses, targets and sectors are, will be, or have the potential to transform digitally to create enhanced returns. Too often there isn’t the time or a sufficiently credible contact to check the digital health, risk profile or potential for value creation in a target or portfolio business even though PE tell us that digital disruption and transformation are the single biggest risk or upside factors in the business they look at today.Digital Due Diligence from real-world digital transformation expertsSo we’ve created D3, the new Digital Due Diligence service from Equator Assist.
