About Due Diligence
Usually utilized to investigate a potential business
partner, client or vendor, Due Diligence Investigations can
greatly decrease the possibility of business losses and
problem clients. The cost of one bad client, vendor, or
associate far outweighs the expenditure of a basic due
diligence search, especially when you factor in the money
that is lost through litigation, lost sales, manufacturing
delays, or sheer time.
Much deeper than a standard Corporate Profile Research, a
thorough Due Diligence operation can include such additional
information as asset verification and searches of courts for
local, state & Federal liens & judgments. In
addition, deeper looks at the principals or officers may be
desired.

your case.
The extent of a due diligence investigation is usually only
limited to the amount of time and budget we have been
authorized to utilize.

Case Study
The client was considering going into business with an individual from another state. They would essentially be merging their businesses. He was concerned about his potential new partner though and wanted us to check him out. What we found made him reconsider the merger: 2 bankruptcies in the last 10 years, his house foreclosed in the last year, half a dozen lawsuits & judgments, and the kicker: the person was on probation for theft.
