Due Diligence Services

Your Reliable Assurance in Critical Business Decisions

Introduction: In today’s business world, where transparency and reliability are key factors for success, due diligence plays a crucial role. Our Alibi Agency understands the importance of these aspects and offers comprehensive due diligence services to protect our clients from potential risks. We focus on gathering essential background information about individuals and companies, which is crucial for various business ventures such as company sales, succession planning, joint businesses, joint ventures, or major investments.

What is Due Diligence? Due diligence is a process of carefully and systematically collecting and analyzing information to assess and minimize business risks. This process is especially important in transactions and partnerships, where understanding the credibility and stability of the other party is of utmost importance.

Our Services:

1. Company Sale: When selling a company, we help you assess potential buyers. We examine their financial stability, market reputation, and past transactions to ensure that you make an informed decision.
2. Succession Planning: Succession planning is a critical step for any company. Our due diligence includes reviewing potential successors to assess their suitability and impact on the future of the company.
3. Joint Businesses and Ventures: In forming a partnership, it is essential to thoroughly understand the other company. We analyze their business history, financial health, and corporate culture to minimize risks.
4. Major Investments: For significant investments, it is important to understand all aspects of the transaction. Our experts provide detailed analyses of the financial, legal, and operational aspects of the investment target.

Practical Examples:

• Case Study 1: A client was considering the purchase of a medium-sized company. Our due diligence review revealed that the company was involved in several legal disputes, which our client was previously unaware of. This information was crucial for renegotiating the purchase price.
• Case Study 2: A company planned a partnership for a joint venture. Our investigations showed that the potential partner had several failed projects in the past. This insight allowed our client to better assess the risk and take precautions.
• Case Study 3: Acquisition of a Technology Startup. An investor was interested in acquiring a promising technology startup. However, our due diligence review revealed that the startup was infringing on significant patent rights. This information helped the investor avoid a potentially costly legal dispute.
• Case Study 4: International Expansion. A European company planned to expand into Switzerland. Our thorough research revealed unexpected regulatory challenges, enabling the company to incorporate these into its strategy for successful expansion with the right local partner.
• Case Study 5: Succession Planning in a Family Business. A family business faced the challenge of succession planning. Our comprehensive analysis of potential successors, including their business skills and commitment to the company, enabled a smooth and strategically sensible handover. Often, character traits and loyalty also play a significant role.
• Case Study 6: Private Equity Investment. A private equity firm was considering a major investment in a medium-sized company. Our due diligence review uncovered non-obvious financial risks and historical management problems. These insights were crucial for renegotiating the terms of the investment.

Each of these case studies demonstrates how critical careful and thorough due diligence examination is for success and risk minimization in various business situations.
