Since the warrants and information that the counterpart provides you with are usually not enough to guarantee that the non existence of hidden contingencies and liabilities, a previous (corporate) due diligence is highly recommendable before you decide to invest in a company.

To this effect, we have created and implemented a comprehensive procedure that analyses the administrative, tax, financial and accounting aspects of the entity´s previous and current operations.
