A global investment company planned to acquire an emerging tech startup. In order to obtain a well-founded picture of the target company’s financial, legal and operational situation, Foreus commissioned it to carry out a comprehensive due diligence review.
Corporate acquisition Foreus analyzed the startup’s balance sheets, annual reports and contracts, assessed the market position, examined intellectual property and patents and carried out background checks on executives. The experts also examined potential legal risks, including ongoing or potential litigation and compliance issues.
The thorough investigation uncovered hidden risks including overvalued assets and undisclosed legal disputes. Additionally, some potential intellectual property issues were identified.
The results of the due diligence review allowed the investment company to reevaluate its purchase decision and gain a stronger negotiating position. Thanks to the insights, the purchase price could be appropriately reassessed and special guarantees and protections could be included in the purchase contract to compensate for the identified risks. This protected the investing company from subsequent financial losses and helped make a strategically sound and well-considered acquisition decision.
A European construction company that wanted to implement a new series of projects in the Middle East was looking for a supplier. To ensure that the collaboration would be successful in the long term, a comprehensive background check of the potential partner was essential.
Foreus conducted a comprehensive background check that included business registry reviews, financial due diligence, reputation screening and operational and compliance risk analysis. In addition, references were obtained and the supplier’s former business partners were interviewed.
The background check of the potential supplier by Foreus revealed various discrepancies in their business practices. These discrepancies indicated that there had been supply bottlenecks and quality fluctuations in the past. Based on these findings, the construction company was able to weigh up the risks of working with the supplier and ultimately decided on an alternative supplier with a better track record. This decision helped to ensure long-term project quality and reliability.
