Financial Due Diligence Services
What is Financial Due Diligence?
Financial Due Diligence is a structured examination of a company’s:
Financial statements
Revenue quality
Profit sustainability
Working capital position
Debt structure
Tax exposure
Cash flow patterns
The goal is simple: validate financial information and identify risks before closing the transaction.
When Do You Need Financial Due Diligence?
Business acquisition
Investment by private equity or angel investors
Merger or amalgamation
Strategic partnership
Joint venture
Fundraising round
Buyout of shareholders
If money is changing hands, due diligence is not optional.
