M&A Due Diligence

Independent insights across markets, risk and leadership

At CJPI, we provide independent commercial and specialist due diligence to give investors, corporates and vendors the confidence to proceed with deals. We validate growth drivers, uncover hidden risks, and highlight opportunities, ensuring decisions are based on evidence, not assumption.

Delivering Through Due Diligence

Deals can underperform when market assumptions, customer demand or regulatory risks aren’t fully understood. Traditional diligence often focuses narrowly on financials, leaving critical commercial and operational questions unanswered. Without a structured due diligence process, investors risk overpaying, missing red flags or failing to capture value post-deal.

We combine structured market analysis, customer and competitor insight, and sector research with the ability to deliver specialist diligence where required. From commercial diligence for mid-market acquisitions to clinical or regulatory diligence in healthcare, our team provides clear, evidence-based recommendations tailored to the deal thesis.

Our DD Framework

Commercial

Specialist

Leadership

We deliver tailored diligence that brings together three perspectives:

Commercial

Our commercial due diligence provides an independent assessment of the target’s markets, customers and competitive positioning. We validate assumptions around market size and growth, analyse sector trends, and test the strength of customer demand and pricing power. This gives investors clarity on the real growth drivers of a business and whether the investment thesis is sound.

Specialist

Specialist due diligence allows us to go deeper into areas where risk may exist and which would not be captured through traditional diligence channels. In healthcare and medtech, for example, we can carry out clinical diligence to test compliance, safety and clinical risk. We can also conduct regulatory compliance and risk reviews in highly regulated industries, and sustainability assessments for responsible investors.

Leadership

Leadership due diligence focuses on the people who must deliver the deal thesis. Using our leadership assessment expertise, we assess the capability and capacity of the management team, their alignment with strategic goals, and the culture of the organisation. This provides visibility of succession risks, potential leadership gaps, and whether the team has the resilience to deliver growth and integration post-deal.
