DUE DILIGENCE A Business Security Tool

Due diligence is a process of thorough, comprehensive analysis of a company’s operations, financial health, and market position.

Due diligence includes:

• analysis of all enterprise assets with a check of legal “cleanliness”, obligations, and financial/legal status;
• in-depth diagnostics to assess the business and financial health and identify sources of funding for restructuring or investment;
• audit support based on qualitative and quantitative indicators, management systems, and internal controls;
• systemic business evaluation aimed at minimizing investor risks by identifying and addressing vulnerabilities.

Purpose:
To provide a complete and objective picture of the financial condition and potential risks to ensure future efficient operations.

Types of due diligence:
general, financial, legal, tax, operational, technological, environmental, marketing, managerial, etc.

Legal due diligence types:

• contract party verification;
• asset/property examination;
• audit of individual contracts;
• due diligence of companies or specific business units.

Stages:

1. Preparation (setting goals, planning scope);
2. Information gathering;
3. Analysis and inspection;
4. Reporting and presentation.

Difference from legal audit:       
Due diligence is broader in scope and goal, includes forward-looking analysis, and often encompasses legal, financial, and operational assessments.

Legal due diligence scope includes:     
review of founding documents, property and IP rights, debt obligations, regulatory compliance, corporate history, and litigation risks.
