Due Diligence

The due diligence process is necessary for the success of any investment. Transactional risk is greatly reduced when an in-depth credibility assessment of all companies and individuals with whom a company conducts business is performed prior to transaction execution. A competitive advantage is created for investors by verifying that all operations and assets are as represented by an investment candidate.

Alternatively, the credibility of a business owner who is selling his company or divesting non-core business units can translate directly into higher or lower transaction value. In preparing for such a sale, it is crucial to anticipate and address the information, needs and expectations of potential buyers, as incomplete or inaccurate information, particularly financial data, can have a direct, negative impact on the price obtained from a sale.
