The infographic “Key Areas of Due Diligence for UK Office Furniture Acquisitions” lays out the essential checks a buyer should perform when considering acquiring a UK‑based office furniture business. It begins with Financial Due Diligence, delving into trading history, balance sheets, and forecasting to assess economic health; this is paired with Accounting Due Diligence once heads of terms are drafted, to verify financial practices and produce an objective audit report.

Legal Due Diligence is also highlighted, focusing on contracts, licences, regulatory compliance and any hidden legal liabilities. Beyond the finances and the law, the infographic emphasises Market Analysis, which examines industry trends, competitive environment, and long‑term sales data to understand growth potential and positioning. Operational Due Diligence investigates internal structures such as management teams, staffing, supplier relationships, and the condition and suitability of equipment — the aim being to judge operational efficiency and integration risk.

Strategic Due Diligence rounds out the process, helping assess whether the target aligns with the acquirer’s long‑term goals and whether external funding or advisers are needed. Overall, the infographic portrays due diligence as a multi‑layered process — financial, legal, market, operational and strategic — each providing critical insights to mitigate risk and support informed decision‑making in acquisitions in the UK office furniture sector.
