BLDI regularly assists M&A firms, brokers, investment bankers, and private equity groups in conducting environmental due diligence (EDD) to support transactions from a few thousand dollars to more than $90 million. BLDI staff work to support the deal makers in the transactions, and based on numerous years of experience, understand how properly addressed environmental issues can advance the transaction, whereas information inadequately or improperly presented can be the death knell of an otherwise "good" transaction.
M&A Firms We've Served:
BLDI has conducted M&A environmental due diligence for firms located in Michigan, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, and the Federal Republic of Germany.
Our Process for Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence:
BLDI uses business-oriented processes developed using lean management principles to help complete transactions Further, BLDI has, through the use of liability transfer programs (i.e. CostCap), helped transactions which would have otherwise failed.
Merger and acquisition projects typically demand a high intensity, fast-paced, expert team of environmental professionals who understand "big picture" issues and provide decision makers with the objective information they need to make a decision. BLDI staff regularly conduct fast-paced due diligence projects. Our "10 Business Days or Free™" Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) delivery commitment helps move deals on a tight timeline forward. Since implementing this process in 1997, our on-time delivery record exceeds 99.9% for over 600 projects. We have found that schedule compliance helps assure overall quality control. BLDI staff design and complete Phase II ESA sampling programs to support the liability protections provided under federal (CERCLA) programs and Michigan's Part 201 Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) program.
For due diligence projects, BLDI strives to understand our clients' concerns and risk tolerances. One key to client satisfaction at BLDI is our understanding of regulatory trends and potential regulatory changes that can influence future compliance costs and asset value. As applicable, we incorporate these issues into the environmental due diligence (EDD) process as early in the process as possible.
