What it is
Due Diligence, explained in plain English.
Due diligence is a structured investigation of a target company carried out before a transaction - an investment, acquisition, merger or significant loan. A secretarial and legal due diligence reviews the company's incorporation documents, statutory registers, board and member resolutions, ROC filings, registered charges, related-party transactions, pending litigation, intellectual property and statutory dues. The objective is to surface risks, non-compliances and contingent liabilities that affect valuation or deal terms, presented in a report that flags issues by severity so the acquirer or investor can negotiate, price or walk away.
TL;DR
We investigate the target's secretarial, legal and statutory standing and deliver a red-flagged report so you understand the risks before you commit.
