Glossary · People and paperwork
In short
A contract between a business and its supplier, outlining the terms for the purchase and delivery of goods or services. You need to review these to understand ongoing costs and dependencies.
During due diligence, you must examine all significant supply agreements. Look for favorable pricing, contract length, exclusivity clauses, and any termination clauses. Key suppliers can be a major risk if agreements are short-term or easily terminable. Ensure critical supply relationships will transfer smoothly post-acquisition and verify pricing.
