Real Due Diligence

But it’s not just a database search, looking at a spreadsheet and off you go happy. We try to understand the behavioural characteristics of individual decision makers.

And, in most cases certain character idiosyncrasies do leave a footprint.

And we go beyond box ticking and spreadsheet diligence. With high quality research backed up with access to local databases and leaks.

Real insight

We can offer boots on the ground investigations and site visits.

Due Diligence includes:

Finance checks
Online address confirmation
Reference checks
Confirmation of current company structure
Shareholding
Fiduciary performance
Past appointments etc
Physical confirmation of home address
Location of former employers.

And, we can do deeper with many other actions such as interviewing the target invests and their customers and suppliers.

We can answer all of these questions and almost certainly deliver additional findings that might be completely unforeseen.
