Due Diligence
Introduction
Over the past few years, Capital Corp has developed expertise in conducting professional Due Diligences connected with a wide variety of situations.
Why a Due Diligence?
The "Due Diligence" is a process whereby Capital Corp seeks sufficient information about a business entity to reach an informed judgment as to its value for a specific purpose.
A Due Diligence can also be performed in a wide variety of other situations such as:
- A Firm considering a potential acquisition
- An Investment Banker considering underwriting a public security offering or promoting a Private Placement
- A Banker considering the making of a loan
- A Lawyer preparing an offering statement or a merger proposal for a client
- An Appraiser who has been retained to estimate the value of a business unit
- A Business Broker offering a company for sale
- A Public Accounting Firm in conjunction with an audit performed at the request of a potential buyer or in support of a security offering
- A Security Analyst preparing a buy, hold or sell recommendation on a public security
The Due Diligence investigation is normally carried out with the knowledge and cooperation of the management of the entity being investigated.
