Due Diligence
Due diligence plays a vital role in closing any business transaction, be it funding, partnering or acquisition, and can have a major impact in the final value of the deal.
Many university groups and small companies lack the necessary expertise or do not have enough manpower to adequately prepare for diligence. Our consultants have had experience in both preparing companies for diligence and in executing diligence on third party programs.
The key steps in due diligence are :
- Build a comprehensive document trail for all aspects of the project.
- Corporate.
- Financial.
- Legal.
- Technical.
- Intellectual property.
- Build a physical or electronic data room.
- Prepare the team by running preparation exercises.
- Prepare outline presentations.
- Co-ordinate the diligence visit and control the timing.
