Due Diligence

A due diligence investigation is a type of pre-transaction or corporate investigation that can provide details of a company's finances, performance, assets, management, criminal activity, civil filings, liens and judgments and, UCC filings. An extensive report is a concise view of how a company does business and how their principals perform.

Performing due diligence is an essential process before a merger, a partnership or the acquisition of a business because it ensures that any legal responsibility is not concealed. The information in the report can give you insight into the business and may help you fine tune the details of the contract or even cause you to cancel it! At the very least, the Due Diligence Profile should be reviewed carefully before committing to any partnership, merger or acquisition.

CIC's Due Diligence Profile is an essential part of doing business and one of the smartest investments you can make. Contact CIC before you close your next business deal. We can help you perform your due diligence in the following areas:
