Due Diligence

You are not buying the business you were shown. You are buying the one underneath it.

Commercial and financial diligence exists to find the difference between the two: obligations that do not appear in the accounts, revenue that depends on one relationship, receivables that will not convert.

We look where the risk actually sits in these markets — title, related parties, contingent obligations, and the gap between reported profit and collected cash.

How the work runs

  1. 01

    Verify the numbers

    Quality of earnings, revenue recognition, working capital.

  2. 02

    Find the obligations

    Contingent, off-balance-sheet, related-party and disputed.

  3. 03

    Test the commercial case

    Customer concentration, contract durability, market position.

  4. 04

    Price the findings

    What changes the valuation, and what changes the decision.
