What is Due Diligence?

Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation and analysis of a business, person, or investment opportunity. It's the process of verifying facts, assessing risks, and evaluating potential before making important business decisions such as investments, mergers, acquisitions, or partnerships.

In today's fast-paced business environment, conducting thorough due diligence is more critical than ever.
