A process aimed at thoroughly understanding a company that is being analyzed for acquisition, through a comprehensive review of all areas that make up the target company. Its main objective is to confirm or dismiss the hypotheses on which the acquisition decision has been made, not only of a financial nature but of various business disciplines, such as commercial, tax, legal, labor or environmental. The result of the due diligence will be decisive in the negotiation process of the company’s sale, in the requirements for additional guarantees to bring it to a successful conclusion, and in the closing of the transaction. It significantly reduces the risk of the company’s sale transaction and provides the buyer with an independent, objective, and detailed evaluation of the business, with particular emphasis on the existence of hidden liabilities or contingencies in each and every one of the areas subject to review.
