Acquisition Due Diligence Checklist is a tool used to uncover potential risks, opportunities and liabilities when acquiring a business. It helps buyers to understand the target company’s finances, operations, management and legal terms, as well as its strategic fit within the context of the buyer’s existing organization. A thorough due diligence checklist will include items such as reviewing financial results, examining key contracts and leases, analysing debt levels, exploring regulatory compliance issues and assessing customer relationships. All these steps can reveal critical information about the target company, enabling buyers to make an informed decision about an acquisition.
