Due
diligence
is a term used for a number of concepts involving either
the performance of an investigation of a business or
person, or the performance of an act with a certain
standard of care. It can be a legal obligation, but the
term will more commonly apply to voluntary
investigations. Some common examples of due diligence in
various industries include.
- Are they who they
say they are
- Are they legally
able to trade
- Do they have the
means to fulfill their obligations
- What is their
reputation with their customers and other companies
within the same market sector
- Is this company or
its people the type you want as trade partners
- Do the company’s
executives have a history of liquidating companies
- Is there anything in
the past you should know about
- What other interests
do the company and its directors have
- Do they have the
ability they claim to have, to undertake their
obligations
- What does the press
say about them
- Are they licensed by
the appropriate regulatory body
