Due Diligence

In the recent decades, Due Diligence had a “great career”, and today it means a comprehensive examination concerning several areas, including, among others, the assessment and analysis of potential security and other risks resulting from the operation, the management and ownership background of the given company, for the sake of  improving the management/investment strategic decision making.

Taking into account the versatile business objectives, the screening – general or detailed – is always planned and performed according to the individual and special requests of our client. Screening provides efficient and objective assistance in the case of controlling new business partners, investments or acquisition.

Generally, but not exclusively, screening consists of obtaining and analyzing the following data and information:

General screening:

• Corporate history
• Management, ownership/shareholder structure
• Other business interests of management, owners/shareholders
• Personal history, background of management, owners/shareholders
• Information relating to the operation of the company

In addition to which, a detailed screening also includes:

• Data relating to the company’s cash management and financial situation
• Results of creditability and security assessment
• Data relating to its movable and immovable assets
• Data relating to other security risks
• Other information determining and affecting the operation of the company

The results of the screening, by supplementing the statements of other experts, may assist in making the right decisions.
