Due diligence is a process of investigation aimed at obtaining relevant information about a company prior to the sale or purchase of a company.
The due diligence process is carried out to ensure that the commercial transaction is carried out correctly and safely, and to ensure that all parties involved in the transaction are well informed about the relevant aspects of the transaction, especially any hidden liabilities of the transaction.
Due diligence can range from researching the company's financial and operational history to reviewing the company's legal structure and financial documents. The due diligence process also involves a comprehensive assessment of the company's legal, financial and operational situation to ensure that the commercial transaction is risk-free.
