Yes – and it’s one of the most valuable times to do one. In mergers and acquisitions, technical due diligence is standard. Buyers and their advisors will look at the software being acquired, and undisclosed security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, or significant technical debt can reduce the valuation, delay closing, or kill a deal entirely.
Getting a code audit done on your own timeline – before a buyer’s team does it – lets you find and fix problems first. It also gives you documentation you can provide to buyers proactively, which builds confidence and speeds up the diligence process. We’ve seen deals go more smoothly when sellers come prepared.
