Due Diligence

Ethi-Fin has dedicated service to deliver high-quality due diligence services that ensure you have accurate up-to-date intelligence before conducting business deals such as company acquisitions and mergers, or the setting up of a new business relationship. This has always been important but is now even more so due to the turbulence of the global economy.

Our experience in due diligence investigation services, both in the UK and across the globe, have given us an acute awareness and understanding of the particular issues that need to be looked into as we gather information on the company or individual in question.

Our clients assign us to conduct domestic and international due diligence investigations for: potential acquisitions, joint business ventures, partners, vendors, suppliers, competitors, subcontractors, investors and even on candidates to be hired for executive or other sensitive positions.
