Business Partner Due Diligence
Due Diligence Investigation

It’s crucial to know details about a prospective business partner’s background before agreeing to start a project or company together. Suppose the business partner will be investing in a current business in return for acquiring percentage ownership in the company. In that case, it makes sense to find out details about their background before signing any legal documents. The prospective business partner may not necessarily be forthcoming about whether they have a criminal record, if they’re involved in any outstanding legal matters in court (criminal or civil) or whether they have any judgments registered against them.
