    What Is a Due Diligence Investigation?

    A due diligence investigation examines an organization’s finances, management, aims, history, clients, mission, performance, and other functional details. In order to uncover hidden liabilities in this data, it is essential that a company conduct a due diligence investigation prior to a purchase, merger, or acquisition. Types of due diligence may include the following:

    • Financial
    • Commercial
    • Legal

    Why Would a Company or Individual Need Due Diligence Services?

    Due diligence investigations should be performed when investigating overseas business partners, potential clients, or intellectual property.
