Due Diligence
The term Due Diligence describes a general duty to exercise care in any transaction. A Due Diligence
is conducted to source, confirm, identify and verify information. It may entail the investigation of a
business or a person prior to signing a contract.
The extent of a Due Diligence is determined by many factors including: prior experiences, size of the contract,
historical performance, tolerance for risk, the time line, budget, availability of data, industry specifics and
market sensitivity. The duration, complexity and expense of the Due Diligence is at the discretion of the client.
A worthwhile Due Diligence conducted by Business Diligence will mitigate risk by enabling an
informed business decision to be made.
