Due Dilligence

“More than 80% of intelligence is obtained from open source” - Allen W. Dulles; the longest serving director (1953-1961) of the C.I.A  

 

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
