How does due diligence work?
When a proper due diligence has not been undertaken prior to making an investment, there are huge risks attached.​
​
From a financial perspective you may pay too high a price due to underestimating the integrity and quality of the business' financials or not deriving the most fair pro forma and normalised earnings figure.
​
You may not have yet considered whether the transaction will complete based on a Locked Box or a Completion Accounting mechanism.
If you are without an advisor and the seller has more knowledge of you about his business and/or business deals generally, then it's almost guaranteed that you are highly disadvantaged and this can be very costly.
​
From a commercial perspective you may not be aware of certain players already existing in the market that you'd like to enter.
​
You will want to clearly understand the supply and demand that already exists and how the Target business's products will compete in this space.
What are the business' goals & objectives?
Will you want this to change after you invest in the business?
​
If so you may want to consider how much ownership interest you choose to buy.

Legal Ramifications
From a legal perspective you may not be aware of outstanding claims and litigations against the company or other liabilities & obligations that could potentially be passed over to the buyer without an appropriate mechanism for being compensated by the seller.
​
No buyer would want to miss necessary clauses in the final sale & purchase agreement (SPA).
​
For example, clauses in relation to representations & warranties, and other conditions (such as non-compete clauses).
​
Given these risks a potential investor could unintentionally leave large sums of money on the table without realising.
