DUE DILIGENCE

What is Due Diligence, after all?

​

Due diligence involves an in-depth investigation into accounting and legal assets and liabilities undertaken prior to a potential investment, assisting in planning and risk analysis. It forms a valuable tool in decision-making, with pricing often depending on the risks raised through diligence.

Buying and/or investing in a company generally involves several risks and the role of Due Diligence is precisely to reduce these risks, as it ensures that any threats detected do not transform into financial loss in the future.

What are the benefits of Due Diligence?

It may also be considered a seal of quality, providing accurate insight into the reality of the institution and, depending on the potential risks presented, it is a reliable means to improve a company’s evaluation, while serving as a warning to the assessed company with regards to any potential hidden liabilities.

How does Due Diligence facilitate decision making?

Due Diligence highlights existing risks in an operation, allowing buyers to negotiate the value of a transaction based on the responses given for presented numbers (confirming whether or not they represent reality) and for any existing liabilities.

Additionally, it gives companies better insight into their market positions, their competition, and the leading risks inherent to the business, while also serving as a basis for projections and planning next steps.Invest|Way Advisory is your best choice in this process!
