Investigations and Due Diligence for private equity

Before an investment or while managing an existing holding, inconsistent information can change a decision. Baruch examines counterparties and investigates concerns involving the companies concerned, connecting documents, relationships and transactions to support assessment of the investment and potential measures to resolve the issues identified.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

From the situation to investigation deliverables.

See which facts need clarification, the relevant services and the deliverable associated with each one.

SITUATION 01

Target-company information requires verification

A target company presents significant contracts and customer references that initial checks cannot confirm. Undisclosed connections to suppliers also emerge. Before proceeding, the investor needs to examine the counterparties further and investigate the discrepancies identified.

Solutions that may help

Related deliverables

  • A verification dossier covering counterparties and stated information, with contextualised risks and questions for the investment decision.

    Delivered throughDue Diligence and Background Checks

  • A report on concerns involving customers and suppliers, with a relationship map and evidence concerning the discrepancies.

    Delivered throughThird Party Investigation
Decision supported

Decide whether the transaction can proceed, requires clarification or needs additional conditions before investment.

SITUATION 02

Portfolio-company payments to related businesses

After investment, payments without a clear operational rationale emerge to businesses connected to former management. Contracts and deliveries do not support the amounts transferred. Approvals and the destination of funds need reconstruction to establish the facts and inform assessment of available measures.

Solutions that may help

Related deliverables

  • A capital call with an unexpected change of bank account or sender identity.

Illustrative situations, not client cases. Solutions and deliverables depend on the need, available information and agreed scope.
