Independent UK Tech DD for Investors
Independent tech DD for PE, VC and M&A buyers
TechDD provides independent UK technology due diligence for investors assessing software, SaaS, data, cloud, cyber, internal systems and integration risk. We screen targets, investigate the evidence that matters, and translate technical findings into valuation, deal-protection and post-close decisions.
Screen
Prioritise the M&A tech DD scope, buyer thesis, critical unknowns, and target-screening risks before deep access.
Investigate
Review code, architecture, security, data, delivery and team evidence against the deal thesis.
Decide
Convert buy-side technology due diligence findings into investment-committee language, SPA protections and 100-day actions.

From diligence to integration
The Core Advisory Pillars
Deal diligence is a process, not a one-off report. We move with operators from first triage to post-close execution.
Deal Diligence
Buy-side validation of the technology estate for valuation, risk transfer, and execution assumptions.
Best for: PE, VC, and strategic acquirers buying into technology-dependent businesses
- Platform and infrastructure risk
- Commercial assumption testing
- IC-ready findings
- Proceed conditions
Estate Review
Cross-domain review of software, ERP, enterprise systems, cloud, cyber, DR, and data dependencies.
Best for: Broad technology estate audits before pricing, financing, or strategic partnerships
- ERP and business systems
- Data and integration map
- Security posture check
- Resilience and DR review
M&A Integration
From signed deal to execution-ready plan with sequencing, owners, and dependency control.
Best for: Portfolio operators and board teams protecting value after close
- 100-day plan
- Systems consolidation
- Critical path priorities
- Commercially linked milestones
Board & CTO Advisory
Senior operator input on product, roadmap, team, and commercial delivery decisions.
Best for: Deal teams and boards that need practical technology judgement quickly
- Go/no-go framing
- Escalation planning
- Vendor and platform strategy
- Interim advisory support
Estate Coverage: what we assess, not just where your management team talks
A full technology estate assessment for acquisition and advisory outcomes, with practical severity and execution framing.
Architecture and infrastructure
Cloud and on-prem systems validated for resilience, scale, and dependency concentration.
Codebase and delivery quality
Engineering evidence on speed, stability, debt, and maintainability at deal-relevant scale.
ERP and business systems
Core processes checked for hidden friction, integration readiness, and data consistency.
Cybersecurity and compliance
Controls, governance, and incident-readiness reviewed for transaction and operational risk.
Disaster recovery and resilience
Recovery assumptions stress-tested for uptime, recovery time, and business continuity.
Data, AI, and IP
Data lineage, usage rights, and model assumptions tied back to valuation and growth claims.
Operating model
Team depth, ownership, and decision process benchmarked against execution targets.
Integration risk
System overlap, migration sequence, and sequencing risk surfaced for first-100-day planning.
Who We Help
Built for deal participants with hard timelines
The same framework applies across buy-side, sell-side, and post-close execution.

- Scalability validation
- AI and product risk review
- Commercial assumption testing
- Exit-ready action planning
Strategic Acquirers
Integration-first outcomes
Corporate buyers need certainty on compatibility. We map systems, processes, and operating models so integration planning starts with evidence.
- Synergy risk mapping
- Systems rationalisation priorities
- Data migration dependencies
- Post-close sequencing
Founders & Sellers
Control the narrative before the buyer does
From vendor readiness to sale prep, we help you test your own assumptions and structure findings into a credible, proactive process.
- Narrative preparation
- Key issue pre-remediation
- Buyer-ready documentation

Deal confidence system
The advisory workflow that de-risks decisions

Stage 2
Validate the story
Cross-check management narrative with systems evidence, release velocity, and team capability.
Stage 3
Quantify execution risk
Prioritise what can break value during close and during the first 100 days.
Stage 4
Prioritise value creation
Convert findings into a realistic, fund-level improvement roadmap.
Stage 5
Plan integration
Create an explicit sequencing plan for systems, data, and operations.
Deal outputs
Decision outputs every stage produces
- IC-ready executive summary
- Risk-ranked findings
- Remediation cost bands
- Go/no-go or proceed-with-conditions
- 100-day plan
