Due Diligence Investigation

High-level transactions require comprehensive due diligence to manage risk and help ensure the best possible decisions. Whether you are considering a corporate merger, venture capital or hedge fund investment, corporate partnership or a senior hire, due diligence plays a critical role in your process.

When an opportunity arises, you may have limited time to act. Before deciding to invest or merge with another organization — or onboard a new executive — you need accurate information to assess the true value of the opportunity. Does the target company have the growth potential its managers claim? Do key executives have the required experience to make the deal work?

Global Verification Network provides commercial due diligence investigations to help you determine whether your prospective partner has the experience, competence, integrity, character and financial ability to direct and lead an opportunity in a safe, sound and legally compliant manner.

The Role of Corporate Due Diligence Services

The due diligence process allows parties involved in business transactions — investors, partners, lenders and others — to reduce risk through investigation and analysis. Due diligence can include business forecasts and assessments, along with recommendations for potential business integrations.

As part of investigative due diligence, investigators may analyze various aspects of opportunities — including the quality and value of any key components of the business, including key personnel and the civil and criminal history records of the entity itself. In addition, recordkeeping systems, accounting procedures and internal management controls may be assessed.

Due to the risks inherent in investing in early-stage companies, the venture capital due diligence process identifies key areas of exposure and suggests strategies for mitigation. The process can comprise several stages: during initial screening, venture funds may consider numerous opportunities — using specific benchmarks to identify potential investments.

Once investors identify a promising opportunity, the project moves into the business due diligence phase — which includes investigations of senior management team members along with business processes. This phase of the process may include the following reviews:

  • Senior business leadership and executive management
  • The service or product offered, along with the expected demand
  • The specific business model used, the target market and market segmentation

Finally, a comprehensive legal review should complete the venture capital due diligence process before making a decision on a specific opportunity.
