About Due diligence cost

Why this site exists
We read 39 providers' own pages on 28 October 2026 and only 2 of them print a figure, so the only way to see the spread is to read all of them and show the working. That is what this site is: one table, every source named, dated.
Who it is for
Buyers of UK businesses who want to know what due diligence costs, workstream by workstream, before they appoint accountants, lawyers or IT reviewers.
What is on this site
One question, "due diligence cost", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Who publishes a price, and who makes you ask: 2 of 39 providers read for due diligence cost publish a figure. These are the ones that do not.
- Financial due diligence cost in the UK: what firms publish: Financial due diligence cost in the UK: the published starting fee for a financial-only review, what drives the fee, and why most firms quote per deal.
- How much does due diligence cost? Every workstream on one page: How much due diligence costs on a UK purchase, by workstream: financial, legal, tax, IT and commercial, with each published fee and the share of firms that publish one.
What it does not do
- No ranking, no best-of list and no scores: the table is sorted by the figure, not by us.
- No paid placement, no affiliate links and no sponsored rows.
- No invented figure: a provider that publishes nothing is listed as publishing nothing.

This is a free information site run by Joseph Ellul. When you send a brief, he reads it and replies to you himself; it is not passed to any broker or firm, and you pay nothing to ask. The site carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no firm in a table has paid to be there. Every figure is read from the named firm's or authority's own public page on the date shown. Nothing here is tax, legal, regulated or investment advice; check the source before you rely on a row.
