Dearall We are starting looking at buyouts and I'm asking myself if someone have already gathered a list of reliable, trustworthy and good quality service providers for DDs (CDD, legal, financial, etc)? Since it's going to be small cap, I'm looking for smaller, fair prices and pragmatic executers... Have you seen anything or have gathered anything alike? Mind to share or recommend? Thanks and looking forward to your comments and recommendations! Pawel

It depends on size. If your bank debt ticket is below 5m, most banks don’t require external DD if they believe that you know what you are doing. However I would recommend AC Christes for FDD and TDD. CDD depends on Industry, but in general you should do it yourself. Legal, we are with ESCHE and happy so far. AHB in Hamburg I can also recommend. RKH in Hamburg as well. Renzenbrink is also really good but more expensive. However I would Look for Rates between###-###-#### EUR/h
