What does Due Diligence mean?

Due diligence is a thorough review and evaluation of a company or investment before a business transaction, such as an acquisition or merger, is completed. The goal is to ensure that all necessary information about the company or investment is known and that no hidden risks or issues exist.

This process can include:

• Financial due diligence: Reviewing the company’s financial situation, such as accounting, debts, assets, and cash flow.
• Legal due diligence: Evaluating the company’s legal status, contracts, legal disputes, and other legal risks.
• Operational due diligence: Reviewing the company’s operations, processes, and infrastructure.
• Sustainability due diligence: Assessing ESG-related risks and opportunities that could affect the company’s long-term sustainability and business viability.
