Exit Readiness & Vendor Due Diligence

Twelve months of preparation that protects ten percent of your price.

Overview

Buyers discount what they cannot verify: financials living in spreadsheets, layered offshore–onshore ownership, unclear control rights — data uncertainty alone routinely costs sellers around ten percent of price, and unprepared processes die in diligence. Matchpoint runs exit readiness twelve months ahead of a sale: vendor due diligence, financial and legal clean-up, ownership simplification and the data room built before buyers ever ask.

As part of our M&A practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every M&A mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.

Questions, answered

Exit Readiness & Vendor Due Diligence — frequently asked questions

Twelve months before going to market is the working standard — enough time to fix what diligence would otherwise find.

Yes — data uncertainty is priced: prepared sellers avoid the standard discount and keep negotiating leverage through diligence.

Matchpoint runs full sell-side mandates: we value the business, build the information memorandum, identify and approach buyers, manage diligence and negotiate to close — confidentially and senior-led throughout.

An MBO is led by existing management, an MBI by an incoming external team, and an LBO uses significant debt to fund the acquisition. We structure all three and arrange the acquisition finance.

We bridge a target's stand-alone enterprise value to the consideration paid, isolating hard, soft and financial synergies net of costs — so clients see exactly where value is created.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most sell-side and buy-side M&A processes run 4–9 months from mandate to completion, depending on diligence, regulatory approvals and negotiation.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.
