Due Diligence
For a transaction to be successful, it is imperative that it goes through a comprehensive Due Diligence process. Due diligence requires investigation, audit, and review of financial records. This is necessary to confirm the facts of a matter under consideration. The value of the due diligence or probability of major issues or potential issues is thus identified. Due diligence cannot be prepared using available public information. The scope of due diligence depends on the size and scale of a transaction and the risks that surround it.
The need for due diligence arises when:
- A business owner needs to expand their company’s current portfolio of products and services through the acquisition of new ones.
- A business owner wants to buy a company to gain access to its existing products in new markets, or to increase their customer base.
- A business owner wants to expand their company’s market by purchasing a company providing similar products or services in another country.
