Business Due Diligence

Commercial and operational due diligence for companies evaluating a business, partner, target, or investment opportunity.

Judgment, Unfiltered

Some opportunities look convincing in presentations, management conversations, and spreadsheets. We verify whether what is presented in the boardroom is also present on the ground.

We test the business case through on-the-ground diligence — checking whether the customers, suppliers, and operating claims are real, and whether the opportunity stands up outside management's presentation of it.

When To Use It


Evaluating a business, partner, target, or acquisition opportunity in China


The numbers or business case need independent verification


Management needs to test what it is being told against operating and commercial reality

What You Get


Verification of key claims made by management, sellers, or intermediaries


Supplier, distributor, customer, and channel checks where relevant


A clear view of whether the business case is supported by reality on the ground


What It Is Not

This is not market research or a box-ticking exercise. It is on-the-ground due diligence intended to test whether a business, partner, target, or investment opportunity is real, credible, and commercially worth pursuing.

If the opportunity is serious, verify it.
