THE PROBLEM

Surface-level reviews often overlook the issues that have the greatest financial impact. Operational weaknesses, environmental liabilities, lease obligations, compliance concerns, and inconsistent trading performance can significantly affect an asset’s long-term value.

OUR APPROACH

Our due diligence process examines every critical aspect of a forecourt asset before acquisition or financing. We combine operational analysis, financial review, market intelligence, and property assessment to provide an independent view of risk, opportunity, and overall investment quality.

What the engagement covers

Operational review

Assessment of fuel volumes, convenience performance, staffing, site operations, maintenance standards, and day-to-day operational efficiency.

B

Financial verification

Review historical financial performance, revenue streams, operating expenses, gross margins, and supporting financial documentation.

C

Property & lease assessment

Examination of ownership structure, lease agreements, tenancy arrangements, planning considerations, and contractual obligations.

D

Environmental & compliance review

Identify environmental liabilities, regulatory compliance issues, permitting requirements, and potential remediation risks.

E

Market & competitive analysis

Evaluate local competition, customer demand, traffic patterns, demographic trends, and future market potential.

F

Risk assessment & recommendations

Provide a consolidated assessment of key risks, opportunities, and commercial recommendations to support confident decision-making.

Frequently asked

What types of assets do you review?

We conduct due diligence for service stations, convenience retail businesses, roadside commercial assets, redevelopment opportunities, and multi-site portfolios.

Can you work alongside our legal and financial advisors?

Yes. We regularly coordinate with solicitors, accountants, lenders, valuers, and transaction advisors to ensure a complete review process.

Is environmental due diligence included?

Where relevant, we review available environmental documentation and identify potential liabilities. Specialist environmental investigations can also be recommended when required.

Can due diligence be completed within tight transaction deadlines?

Yes. We tailor engagement timelines to meet transaction requirements while maintaining a thorough and evidence-based review process.

Forecourt Advisory's due diligence uncovered operational and lease issues that would have significantly affected the acquisition. Their advice gave us confidence to renegotiate the deal before completion.
