Pre-investment Financial Due Diligence (due diligence)
Analysis of the tax system of the enterprise
Assessment of key risks and recommendations
Modern business in one way or another is associated with financial investments: it is necessary to purchase the equipment to optimize internal work; larger companies need new offices and branches. Regardless of what the entrepreneur is going to invest in, he/she cannot do without preliminary analysis and investment assessment. Such methods will help to determine the effectiveness of business development in a given situation, and will also give an understanding of how such an investment will affect the activities of the partners of the firm, banking institutions with which they cooperate, and how the internal management system of the company will change.
Business investment appraisal is a method that can help to prevent many problems and consequences of a bad investment. In addition, a properly conducted investment assessment allows you to check a potential purchase object for the reliability of all reporting, including financial and tax, as well as identify risks and pitfalls that may lie in wait for an investor. Accordingly, the pre-investment financial examination is aimed at identifying financial risks, searching for opportunities to minimize these risks, assessing the investment attractiveness and financial reliability of the investment object.
The EBS consulting company offers its clients professional services in conducting a pre-investment financial due diligence of an object.
Investment appraisal, expertise
EBS employees carry out a detailed assessment of investment risks. If it is not carried out, the buyer may face extremely unpleasant consequences of the investment, in particular:
- to make a mistake with the object of purchase (that is, the acquired office or branch may be useless in business development). For this, an assessment of the effectiveness of investments is provided.
- to fall for the bait of scammers. In the last 5 years, a kind of “business” has become widespread: objects that are completely ready for work are put up for sale, but after paying a deposit or the full amount, the seller suddenly disappears. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to study in detail the reports of the seller’s activities for a certain period of time.
- to overpay. An inexperienced buyer can pay for an object many times more than it is worth.
There are really a lot of risks in investing, so it is much more profitable for business owners to contact a specialized company that will provide all kinds of assistance in choosing and buying an object, rather than buying it “at random”.
The purpose of financial due diligence is not only to determine the investment risks. It is an effective tool for optimizing the corporate and tax structure of a business in order to protect assets from hostile takeovers or improve the financial management of an enterprise.
