Acquisition Risk Analysis
Structured risk register covering financial, legal, operational, tax, and immigration risks.
What's Included
Every acquisition has risk. Successful buyers identify, quantify, and either accept, mitigate, or walk away from each one — explicitly, in writing.
We build a structured risk register covering: - Financial: customer concentration, margin pressure, working capital - Legal: lease, contracts, IP, employment, regulatory - Operational: key person, supplier, equipment, IT - Tax: CRA exposure, sales tax, payroll, cross-border - Immigration: visa-linked timeline risk if applicable - Market: industry decline, competitive entry, technology disruption - Integration: cultural, geographic, owner transition
Each risk is scored (likelihood × impact), assigned a mitigation, and either priced into the deal or made a closing condition.
Key Benefits
No risks 'discovered' after closing
Each risk explicitly accepted, mitigated, or walked
