In business terms, it's simply a deep pre-deal check that answers three main questions: who, what, and what's at risk.


First, we look at the entity and find out who really stands behind the deal, we search for real beneficiaries behind nominal directors and check if 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 actually owns this software code, whether the real estate was built legally, and whether the assets have been 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, just working with documents and registers, which turns uncertainty into a clear business plan and saves your capital
