FAQ
Q: What is due diligence?
A: Due diligence is the process of investigating a target business before you buy it. It covers the company’s legal documents, contracts, employees, property, IP, compliance, and any disputes or liabilities. The aim is to identify risks so you can factor them into the price or the legal protections in the transaction documents.
