This step is central to a transaction!During due diligence, we assess the crucial elements of a successful acquisition: legal, tax, financial, operational and environmental aspects, among others. Our goal is to maximize your chances to ensure that your new acquisition is as profitable as possible.This work assures you that the acquisition price is accurate and that the company is viable for the long term. Also, if applicable, you know whether certain situations might have a negative impact on the process. This point is especially relevant if you want to renegotiate the terms of the transaction or if you want to withdraw.
