Assessment of technology stack, infrastructure, cybersecurity posture, technical debt, and scalability. Critical for any acquisition where technology drives revenue or operations.
Market analysis, competitive positioning, customer concentration risk, and revenue sustainability. Validates whether the target’s commercial story holds up under independent scrutiny.
Evaluation of processes, supply chain, facilities, vendor dependencies, and operational scalability. Identifies hidden inefficiencies and integration risks before you close.
Review of organizational structure, key-person risk, compensation and benefits, employment agreements, and culture. Especially important for service businesses where talent is the asset.

A real scenario showing how DueDilio connects buyers with vetted independent DD firms — from project submission to engagement.
A first-time buyer under LOI needed a QofE report to satisfy both their own diligence and SBA lender requirements. They had 45 days to close and needed a firm that could start immediately and deliver within 3 weeks.
Buyer completed the intake form in 5 minutes — deal size, industry, timeline, and lender requirements.
By the next morning, 11 vetted QoE firms had submitted proposals with scope, timeline, and fixed-fee pricing.
Buyer narrowed 11 proposals to 3 finalists, messaged each with questions, and scheduled calls through the platform.
Selected a boutique QofE firm, engaged off-platform. Report delivered in 18 days — deal closed on schedule.
Five steps from signup to engagement — the same process for every client.

“DueDilio listened to the type of work I needed to complete as well as the parameters I needed to work within. Within a few days I had ~15 applications and set up calls with my top 3 choices. The individual I ended up hiring did phenomenally.
“They were very responsive and paired me up with a consultant quickly. He definitely knew his stuff — provided valuable perspective on the quality of the financials and was a very clear communicator. He came in under budget and ultimately gave me the extra level of comfort I was looking for.
“Working with DueDilio has been a fantastic experience. Traditionally, finding the right firm takes a lot of trial and error — DueDilio took a several-weeks process and distilled it down to a few days. The providers were all very qualified. The hardest part was selecting only one.
Book a 1:1 Founder Advisory Session — a working call with DueDilio’s founder to talk through your deal, your stage, services, hiring, budget, and timeline. Afterward, you get ongoing 1:1 e-mail access to me throughout your search. Strategic guidance, not legal or financial advice.
Answers to the questions we hear most — from first-time buyers under LOI to experienced acquirers evaluating scope.
Every provider in DueDilio’s network goes through a multi-step vetting process before they can receive projects — evaluating M&A transaction experience, professional credentials, deal-size fit, and client references. The majority of applicants are declined. Providers compete for your project on the strength of their qualifications, not their firm name, and those who consistently underperform are removed from the network.
Yes — compressed timelines are one of the most common situations buyers bring to DueDilio. After you submit a project, proposals typically start arriving within the first hour. Providers in DueDilio’s network are accustomed to M&A deadlines and will confirm their availability and earliest start date as part of their proposal. If your timeline is critical, note it in your submission so providers can respond accordingly.
No. The project intake form is designed to work even if you’re not sure what you need. Describe your deal — the business type, deal size, and where you are in the process — and providers will recommend appropriate scope in their proposals. Most buyers refine their DD plan based on the proposals they receive, not before. If you want guidance before submitting, the Founder Advisory Session is designed for exactly that.
Cost varies by scope, deal size, complexity, and provider. A focused QofE on a lower middle market business typically ranges from $5,000 to $20,000+, depending on the number of years under review and turnaround time. Legal and other DD disciplines are often scoped separately. Submitting a project is the fastest way to get accurate pricing — proposals include detailed scope and fees, and you can compare them side by side before committing to anything.
Once you submit, DueDilio matches your project to vetted providers whose experience fits your deal profile. Those providers review your project and submit structured proposals — including scope, timeline, and pricing. You receive proposals directly in your dashboard, can review anonymous provider profiles, message providers directly, and schedule calls. There’s no obligation to hire from any proposal you receive. If no proposals are the right fit, you’re under no pressure to move forward.
Submit your project in about 5 minutes. We'll match you with qualified, vetted service providers — proposals often start arriving within the first hour.
