Tech Due Diligence: know what you buy behind the logo.
Before you buy a webshop or a company, or invest in one, we look at the technology: how stable and secure it is, what it costs to keep running, and what risks it carries. You get it in writing, before you decide.
Let's talk about due diligence
What we look at
Code and architecture
How maintainable it is, and how much technical debt there is.
Security
Known vulnerabilities, data handling, access.
Operations
What it runs on, what it costs, how stable it is.
Dependencies and licences
Outdated components, licence terms, third-party services.
Knowledge risk
How many heads the system lives in, and whether it is documented.
Scalability
Whether it can handle the growth you plan after the deal.
You're not buying the logo
Much of the value of a webshop or a software company is in the system. If it is neglected, you only find out after the deal what it costs to put right. An audit tells you before you decide.
