What is Due Diligence?

Investment due diligence work assesses and addresses the risks that are attendant with a business investment or lending opportunity. To commit funds to a new venture, merger or acquisition, the project team and/or their backers require confidence that the project will perform in line with expectation and that no abnormalities are inherent in business plans.

The scope of an investment due diligence assessment will vary in line with the type of project, the investment structure, and the risk tolerances of the investor. When seeking institutional finance, lenders may also have specific requirements that need to be addressed.

Key Areas of Due Diligence

The areas in which investment due diligence is usually undertaken includes:

Market Assessments

Examining supply chain dynamics and competition.

Technology Performance

To determine the efficacy and robustness of a project

Site Conditions

To investigate legal liabilities with land transfer or occupation

Project Deliverability

Addressing permissions and consents to proceed with the intended operations

Commercial Assessment

Ensuring that all technical and project design assumptions are properly reflected in the investment model

Why Seek Consultancy Support?

Investment or lending decisions are typically linked to a target return, yield or repayment schedule. An appropriately scoped investment due diligence provides assurance to the investor or lender that the design, assumptions and conditions associated with the investment will enable expectations to be delivered.

Third-party due diligence is best practice when ascertaining risks and evaluating values. This provides all parties with an external set of eyes that can methodically answer investment queries and arbitrate through evidence based conclusions.
