Due Diligence
The investigation and verification process a lender, buyer, or investor performs to confirm the facts, financials, and risks of a business before finalizing a deal.
In a financing context, due diligence includes reviewing financial statements, tax returns, bank statements, contracts, and other records to confirm the business is what it represents itself to be before funds are committed.
The depth of due diligence scales with deal size and complexity, a small working capital advance involves a light review, while a business acquisition or large commercial real estate deal can involve weeks of detailed document review and verification.
