The companies involved in any kind of corporate mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures or IPOs need to consider the consequences of these acts. The inter-corporate ventures with improvement and development in every other field have also seen increase in corporate frauds. Due Diligence Investigators play a key role in determining the target partner’s ability, reputation, financial strength and liabilities. This provides a clearer prospective, before making any further move. The investigation of corporate bodies by other such entities who they are expected to collaborate with is called corporate due diligence. An in-depth investigation of the target company would prevent the corporate body from any embarrassment, reduce risks, provide clearer picture and makes the contract reliable thereof. Any agreement without a background check can prove harmful to the company, and the smart players make sure they keep an eye on their partners. An investigative due diligence report will include a detailed report with evaluation of all the practices of the company including its legal position and financial liabilities.

The goal of due diligence is to obtain information though the method can differ according to different clients and their respective needs. Thus, there are few categories of due diligence that we deal in:

1. Business Background Investigations: In corporate business world, multiple frauds and mishaps happen because no proper background check is conducted. Smart firms with past experiences make sure they conduct regular background check on their partners to stay safe. They check up on various aspects of the partners and check any act of the past that may harm the company in future ventures. Our job here is to provide the best possible information and protect our clients.

2. Prospective Client Investigations: These are in regard to future business partnerships or ventures that the client may become a part of. Due diligence focuses on the various future consequences of a deal with a company and how it would impact our clients. We provide information to make sure any future mishap is prevented. This field of investigation has been the most important amongst all from the client’s perspective. Any major deal with a toxic company can cause disasters.
