I am sure you have must have gone for proper due diligence; but no person / procedure is perfect.
You must, therefore, get a clearly worded unequivocal indemnity from the vendors that any liability not disclosed by them, but relating to the period when they were in charge of management of the company, shall be their liability; whether or not they were aware of the existence of such a liability.
(It can arise from government / supplier / customer / employee or tort claims from neighbors)
