You are buying a company. Its tax risks become yours — unless they are found before signing.

• You are buying a company or a stake — and you want to know what you are really buying.
• The target has several jurisdictions, a history of restructurings or an aggressive tax position.
• You need arguments to negotiate the price and protection in the agreement — before signing, not after.

What the House does

The House looks at the target through the eyes of the one who will answer for its past. We find the tax risks, value them in monetary terms and translate them into concrete levers: a price adjustment, warranties, indemnities, escrow.

• Tax due diligence on the target across all its jurisdictions and periods.
• A risk map valuing each in monetary terms and by probability.
• Translation of risks into deal instruments: price, warranties, indemnities, escrow.
• An analysis of the acquisition structure: how to buy without inheriting others’ problems.
• Support for the buyer’s negotiating position on tax matters.

What you get: a tax due diligence report on the target across all jurisdictions · a risk map valuing each in monetary terms and by probability ·a list of agreement wording (warranties, indemnities, escrow) · a recommendation on the acquisition structure

Why this way and not another

• A corporate lawyer closes the agreement but does not price the tax risks of the target’s past.
• Financial DD looks at the numbers but not at the tax defensibility of the company’s positions.
• To find a risk after signing is to discover that it has already become yours.

What worries you — and the House’s answer

• “I’ll inherit a tax problem I never knew about.” — That is why risks are found before signing and closed off with warranties and indemnities.
• “The seller has hidden an aggressive position.” — DD tests the defensibility of the target’s positions rather than taking its word, and turns doubt into price.
• “I’ll overpay for a company carrying risk.” — Every risk is valued in monetary terms and becomes an argument in the price negotiation.

Where this leads

You enter the deal knowing what you are buying: the target’s tax risks found, valued and either reflected in the price or closed off by protection in the agreement. The company’s past does not become your problem after signing. You pay for the asset, not for someone else’s unresolved matters.
