Business Due Dilligence

In order to reduce the risks that are always involved in corporate finance transactions, it is now standard practice to conduct a so-called Due Diligence on the company to be invested in.

This Due Diligence comprises the following tasks:

  • collecting decision relevant information  

  • determining the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and risks involved in the transaction and

  • finally disclosing and documenting the facts on the company to be invested in for the purpose of providing evidence.

The following points are examined and documented within the framework of a Diligence:
  • Basic data on the company (company statistics, history, etc.)

  • Strategic situation (business policies, overall strategy, etc.)

  • General external conditions (legal, political, socio-demographic and macroeconomic setting)

  • Financial situation (accounting system, contracts, liquidity)

  • Organisational and technological situation

  • Sales and competitive situation

  • Legal and tax situation

  • Environment and past encumbrances
