5 Key Stages of a Due Diligence Process

#1 PREPARATION

The management team prepare and collate information that has been requested by the Investor and their advisory team.

#2 DISCLOSURE

Collated information is uploaded into a data room for secure sharing. Due diligence questionnaires are completed and returned to the Investor.

#3 REVIEW

The Investor and their advisory team undertake an in-depth review of the information provided and start to consider questions and further information follow-ups required.

#4 q&a

The Investor's team poses questions to the management team and request additional information. This stage is iterative until the Investor's team are satisfied they have the information required for reporting.

#5 reporting

The Investor's advisory team prepares reports on the due diligence topics covered in the process. These reports are typically not disclosed to the Target Business.
