If you are considering a potential partnership, investment, merger, or acquisition, Ethical Edge leaves no stone unturned in your unbiased third-party due diligence processes. Accounting and legal assessments are indeed important components of due diligence, but proper services encompass more than crunching numbers, reviewing documents, or ticking off boxes. For example, in the case of mergers or acquisitions, whether you are the buy or sell side, due diligence that takes into account your strategic pre- and post- combination measures will go significantly further to increase the likelihood of a profitable transaction.

We provide thorough and comprehensive due diligence services in a timely and cost-efficient manner, so you can rest assured that you enter into commitments fully informed. Most importantly, your final results will be presented to you in a manner that enables you to capture the key points immediately and clearly, with full details and information provided in clean, jargon-free reporting with visual elements designed to aid comprehension. Due diligence services include but are not limited to:

• In-depth competitive market position assessments
