Also, the audit will identify all the potential risks of the future owner and offer ways of elimination or mitigation thereof. Due diligence may be conducted for all the operational aspects of the company or certain issues of interest for the Client.
Due diligence before a transaction is care and respect for own assets in the first place. Identification of all potential risks and ways of elimination thereof will be of use to determine the value of equity rights and to prevent future losses of the potential buyer of the business. Preliminary due diligence will enable reasonable and efficient structuring of the business purchase or investment contract and mitigate potential risks of the future business owner during preparation for the transaction.
