Corporate Due Diligence - Making Informed Investment Decisions

Investors are often presented with enticing investment opportunities, but making well-informed decisions is paramount to protect capital. Our firm specializes in conducting comprehensive due diligence on potential investments, ensuring that investors rely on concrete facts and figures rather than mere intuition.

The overarching objectives of our pre-deal investigations are twofold. First, we aim to ascertain the legitimacy and viability of an investment opportunity. Second, we strive to confirm whether the deal's terms, individuals involved, and financial prospects align with the representations made.

Our pre-investment investigations are tailored to suit the unique nature of each deal and the parties involved. Our extensive scope of investigation includes:

  • Verification of Capital, Collateral, and Financial Accounts

  • Investigation of Registered/Unregistered Offering of Securities

  • Evaluation of Professional Profiles of Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisors

  • Confirmation of Business Operations and Corporate Legal Standing

  • Scrutiny of Litigation, Bankruptcies, Liens, and Judgments

  • Identification of Corporate Parents, Subsidiaries, and Affiliates

  • Review of Securities Filings, Public Offerings, and Private Placements

  • Assessment of Credit Profiles and Financing Information

  • Investigation of Corporate Assets and Financial Accounts

  • Examination of Regulatory Sanctions and Enforcement Actions

  • Analysis of Adverse Media Coverage (Both Domestic and Foreign)

Our investigative approach to investor decision-making revolves around two main focal points: asset verification and background investigation.

The verification of existing assets is crucial in determining the financial viability of the proposed deal. It empowers investors to assess whether the prospectus and related materials accurately present the opportunity and its associated risks.

Equally vital is the comprehensive background check on the key individuals orchestrating the deal. Their historical track record often serves as a reliable indicator of future performance. Discovering early whether a potential partner has a history of criminal charges, fraud allegations, investor complaints, insolvency, or regulatory enforcement actions is invaluable in mitigating risks.

In the realm of M&A transactions and significant corporate investments, the lion's share of pre-deal due diligence is typically managed by attorneys, accountants, and advisors. These professionals sift through vast volumes of data and documents via virtual data rooms and consultant clean teams. In this data-rich environment, sensitive areas may be overlooked or critical information sanitized, leaving unanswered questions about a company's finances or the integrity of its principals. Our independent and discreet investigations fill these crucial gaps, providing investors with a comprehensive understanding of their potential investments.
