When you are about to do business with another company or organisation, you don't want to leave any stone unturned or take any unnecessary risks. A good due diligence does just that: It is a thorough business investigation that gives a detailed analysis and risk assessment of a commercial transaction, contract, merger, tender offer or other transaction that is about to occur. It should reveal all aspects of the business. The good, the bad, and, yes, even the ugly.
Diligence reports include
Identity of company directors
Physical address of company
Legal status of company
Objectives of the company
Verification of asset base
Verification of references
Analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the target business
