In business terms, it's simply a deep check before a deal that answers three main questions: who, what, and what are the risks.
First, we look at the entity and find out who really stands behind the deal, we look for real beneficiaries behind the nominal directors and check whether the seller has a trail of bankruptcies, corporate conflicts, or personal sanctions and criminal cases.

Then we dissect the object of purchase itself and figure out what exactly is passing into your hands, we separate beautiful presentations from reality and see whether the company really owns this software code, whether the real estate was built legally, and whether the assets are not pledged to the bank for the third time.

And most importantly, we assess the stake in this game, because the question of what the investor risks is not always about losing the money invested; in Russian realities, it can be the risk of subsidiary liability for the debts of the purchased company, tax assessments for past years, or the prospect of criminal prosecution.

So no mysticism, only work with documents and registers, which turns uncertainty into a clear business plan and saves your capital.
