Corporate Due Diligence

Regardless of whether you are buying a business as an asset purchase, a division purchase, a company stock purchase, or a corporate merger, you (and/or your corporate attorney) must conduct due diligence on the target company or corporate division.  Due diligence involves an in-depth investigation of the business.  It requires review of a lot of documents by your corporate attorney and a review of the financial reports and tax returns by your financial advisor or accountant.
