About the due diligence report template

The structure, the slides, your brand, and a file you can edit anywhere.

Built to turn findings into a price

Diligence exists to find the reason not to do the deal, and then to price whatever you find. So the report is only useful if it connects every finding to a number. This one runs five diligence workstreams, puts the adjustments on their own slide so the buyer can see exactly what the work took off the price, and sets out the conditions the recommendation depends on. It’s built on the Big 4 Investment Bank Model.

Built from 9,000+ slides across 134+ categories

Every slide here comes from the same library. Financial tables, EBITDA bridges, risk matrices, assessment grids, and deal structure layouts are already in it, so adding a tax diligence section or a second target takes a minute. Everything sits on the same grid, so the layout still holds.

Brand the whole presentation in one click

Add your logo, colors, fonts, and background once. It applies to the whole presentation and the entire slide library at the same time. Every mandate the firm runs produces a report that looks the same, so the client reads the findings, not the formatting.

Export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote

You get a real file, not a locked link. Export it and keep editing in the tool you already use. Every table and chart stays editable, so the numbers can move as data-room access opens up without a rebuild.

Questions about the due diligence report template

What's inside the template, and how far you can change it.

Using the template

Is the template fully editable?

+

Yes. Text, tables, charts, icons, and colors on every slide are yours to change. Nothing is locked and nothing is a flat image.

How do I brand it to my firm?

+

Add your logo, colors, fonts, and background once. It applies to the whole presentation and the entire slide library at the same time.

Can I add slides from the slide library?

+

Yes. Add any slide from the library into this one, or swap out one that doesn't fit. Everything works together.

What's included

Which diligence workstreams are covered?

+

Five: commercial, financial, operational, legal, and management. Financial is split across P&L, quality of earnings, working capital, and debt.

Does it connect findings to price?

+

Yes. A valuation adjustments slide quantifies each finding that moves the number, and the deal structure slide carries escrow, indemnities, and conditions precedent.

Is placeholder content included?

+

Yes. Every slide comes with realistic text, sample figures, and filled-in charts, so you can see how the due diligence report reads before you put your own numbers in.
