A due diligence review is a structured assessment of the target business before closing. It reviews financials, contracts, liabilities, and compliance to confirm information and uncover issues. This helps you make informed decisions and plan risk mitigations as part of the deal process.
The timeline varies with deal complexity and data availability. We work with you to establish milestones and keep the review on track while adapting to changing information.
Common documents include financial statements, tax records, material contracts, licenses, litigation history, and corporate records. We tailor the data list to the specifics of your transaction.
Key participants typically include the buyer, seller, counsel, and any lenders or advisors. Clear roles help ensure timely information flow and decisions.
Proceeding without due diligence increases risk of undisclosed liabilities and misrepresented facts. A targeted review can be appropriate in simple deals, but careful assessment is generally recommended.
Costs vary with scope and depth of review. We provide a clear scope and transparent pricing before work begins.
If issues arise, we help you evaluate impact, propose corrective terms, and adjust deal structures or contingencies as needed.
Not all deals require the same level of review. More complex or higher value transactions typically benefit from a full due diligence process.
