Preparing a Company for Acquisition
A logistics-technology company in Delhi received an acquisition approach from a larger strategic buyer. The founders wanted to be transaction-ready, but their compliance, contracts, and financial records were not organised to withstand acquirer diligence, and unaddressed gaps risked delaying or repricing the deal.
A clear-eyed look at where they stood.
A logistics-technology company in Delhi received an acquisition approach from a larger strategic buyer. The founders wanted to be transaction-ready, but their compliance, contracts, and financial records were not organised to withstand acquirer diligence, and unaddressed gaps risked delaying or repricing the deal.
CapEasy ran a sell-side readiness exercise — organising financials and tax records, closing compliance and secretarial gaps, reviewing key contracts for change-of-control and assignment terms, and assembling the diligence data room. We surfaced and remediated risk areas before the acquirer’s advisors reached them.
The outcome
The company entered acquisition diligence organised and remediated, allowing the process to proceed efficiently and with fewer value adjustments. The founders negotiated from a position of readiness rather than reaction.
