Due Diligence Services in Turkey
What is Due Diligence?
Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation and analysis process conducted to assess a company’s financial, legal, operational, and commercial aspects. It is an essential step in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), partnerships, and investment decisions. The primary goal of due diligence is to identify potential risks, verify the company’s actual value, and provide decision-makers with accurate insights before finalizing a transaction.
In simple terms, due diligence involves a detailed examination of a company’s internal and external structure to ensure that there are no hidden risks that could affect the transaction.
