Our Firm provides Due Diligence Service
The three main categories of due diligence are legal, financial and commercial.
Legal
Legal due diligence seeks to examine the legal basis of a transaction, for example to ensure that a target business holds or can exercise the intellectual property rights that are crucial to the future success of the company.
Other areas that would most likely be explored include:
- legal structure
- contracts
- loans
- property
- employment
- pending litigation
Financial
Financial due diligence focuses on verifying the financial information provided and to assess the underlying performance of the business. This would be expected to consider areas such as
- Earnings
- assets
- liabilities
- cash flow
- debt management
Commercial
Commercial due diligence considers the market in which a business sits, for example involving conversations with customers, an assessment of competitors and a fuller analysis of the assumptions that lie behind the business plan. All of this is intended to determine whether the business plan stands up to the realities of the market.
Other
Other types of due diligence cover areas such as taxation, pensions, IT systems and intellectual property.
