What is Due Diligence?

Due diligence means an investigation of a business or person prior to signing a contract or making any legal funding action. This term generally refers to taking reasonable care in transactions with other business entities.

The need for due diligence may arise in a variety of business activities and situations, such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships/strategic alliances, joint ventures, outsourcing, procurements, etc.

The type and scope of due diligence vary greatly depending on the nature of the transaction. It serves to evaluate all material facts related to the prospective investment, detect possible deal-breakers and minimize exposure to potential losses.

Exercising due diligence before signing a deal or entering into a business relationship is considered good business practice. It helps organizations identify favourable investment opportunities and avoid costly mistakes.
