Corporate Acquisitions & Merger Private Investigators
You’ve heard the saying, “You can tell everything you need to know about someone from the company they keep."
The same goes in the corporate world—and if you want to obtain an in-depth report on any acquisition or merger you have planned, a Whitesell investigator or detective can make a case for you to continue with the purchase or withdraw. And when your company has relevant information about all of your potential associates, you will never need to base valuable business decisions on guesswork again.
Why Do I Need an Acquisitions Investigation?
Acquisitions and mergers usually involve a significant amount of due diligence by the firm doing the buying before they can commit to the transaction. The buyer must ascertain what exactly it is purchasing, what obligations it assumes by so doing, and the full extent and nature of the future acquisition company’s provisional liabilities. These details must include any outstanding problematic contracts, intellectual property issues, and litigation risks.
All of this fact-collecting and due diligence can be done by an investigative team hired by the buyer long before serious acquisitions or merger discussions have commenced. Doing adequate research is of particular importance when it comes to private company acquisitions; private companies are not subject to the scrutiny and transparency of the public markets. The buyer will have little opportunity to discover pertinent information when relying on public sources. This is when a professional acquisition or merger investigation is needed.
