Business Due Diligence (BDD) is a kind of service providing a thorough assessment of a target's positioning within its business environment for potential acquirer or collaborator during M&A or Joint Venture transactions. As an essential part of the Due Diligence process, BDD supports the decision-makers by providing insight on the strategic position, market attractiveness, competitive dynamics, growth opportunities and management team of the target company. The major purpose of conducting a BDD is to strengthen the negotiating position by identifying business risks, addressing valuation. Nevertheless, BDD also contributes to integration and separation planning.
