Due Diligence
The process of due diligence can be the most challenging in
any transaction. It begins after a Letter of Intent (LOI), or an
Indication of Interest (IOI) has been agreed upon. Those
documents are similar but different. While both are non-
binding in many critical aspects the IOI can often be only a
range of values and not include all elements of a deal. The
LOI would normally be more specific with a greater estimate
of all terms and conditions. There are also documents that will
be called one or the other that are actual hybrids in that they are
structured as an IOI but will be very specific in terms and
conditions or an LOI that is not detailed as is customary. These
documents are negotiated to supply the seller with sufficient
data to be able to evaluate competing offers. While non-
binding regarding the completion of a transaction they lay the
groundwork for proceeding further. Everything is dependent
upon the successful completion of due diligence.
Due diligence is also the most time-consuming aspect of any
transaction. Typically lasting several months or much longer
depending on the conditions of the company’s records and any
surprises that might happen. This is a very stressful time for all
participants. CWG is active and hands-on to facilitate the
successful completion of this process. Maintaining good, co-
operative communication is one of the keys to reaching a
timely and satisfactory end to due diligence.
The due diligence process begins with the implementation of a
Virtual Data Room. We use this technology to ensure that all
your data and information are kept safe, secure, and protected.
CWG uses the latest technology and best practices to facilitate
the needed access to information in the most secure and
private manner possible. Where needed we also will employ
“Safe Rooms” to limit access to selected data to the minimum
required participants with enhanced security. Security and
Confidentiality are always of paramount importance to CWG.
