The Significance of Due Diligence in Business Transactions

In the business world, "due diligence" holds paramount importance. It serves as a meticulous investigation preceding potential investments. This investigative process is driven by our clients' needs and a central objective: confirming the accuracy of seller information and assessing the true value of the proposed transaction by identifying potential risks in various areas.

Leverage our global reach and expertise across a spectrum of industries, gaining access to optimal data for your acquisitions and reports. We provide actionable information for M&A decisions and various other business transactions.

DEKRA assists in identifying potential defects and deficiencies that could impact an asset's performance and occupant safety in the immediate, short-, medium-, or long-term. Whether you are an investor, part of an in-house team, or require third-party due diligence, with DEKRA Due Diligence Services, you gain access to a broad spectrum of expertise.

DEKRA offers critical insights into an asset's aging, potential defects, and maintenance history, ensuring you have the optimal data for confident decision-making in M&A, IPOs, and various other scenarios. Our flexible assessment framework can be tailored to your specific needs, focusing on the key points that matter most to you.

Our assessment initiates with a document review, followed by on-site visits. Depending on the technical scope of the appraisal required, we assemble an expert team of one to three people.

Our Technical Due Diligence Services aim to provide optimal data while translating even the most intricate technical details into comprehensive information that highlights potential risks and provides clarity for informed decision-making.

DEKRA's experts employ a proven framework to assess environmental liabilities of properties or businesses. Our environmental due diligence services are designed to unearth and evaluate potential environmental risks and hazards, offering findings for effective risk mitigation. With our expertise, you can make informed decisions and ensure full compliance with relevant environmental regulations.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA): This thorough review examines a property's history and current uses, identifying potential environmental liabilities such as hazardous material releases or historical pollution.

Phase II Environmental Site Investigation (ESA): Delving deeper, our Phase II investigation includes soil and groundwater sampling to confirm the presence of hazardous materials, providing a more detailed assessment.

At this point, we will be equipped to offer insights and transparency crucial for well-founded decisions and safeguarding your investments. In cases that require it, we can provide even more comprehensive analysis.
