Due Diligence

Due Diligence is a structured, comprehensive appraisal process undertaken by potential investors, acquirers, or lenders to assess the financial, legal, operational, and commercial health of a business before a transaction.

It typically covers areas such as:

  • Financial statements and forecasts

  • Corporate governance and legal structure

  • Intellectual property and technology

  • Market position and competition

  • Customer and supplier contracts

  • Compliance and regulatory risks

Due diligence ensures informed decision-making, uncovers potential liabilities, and influences deal terms and pricing. It’s a standard practice in venture capital, private equity, M&A transactions, and public market listings.
