In a commercial transaction, one party conducts a comprehensive, in-depth and detailed investigation and analysis of the other party in order to obtain information about the transaction object, transaction conditions, transaction risk, etc., so as to provide a basis for transaction decision-making. In business investment, due diligence is an important and complex link, which involves the financial, legal, tax, market, technology, human resources and other aspects of the target enterprise, requiring a lot of time, energy and resources. The purpose of due diligence is to help investors assess the value, risks and potential of the target enterprise in order to determine whether to invest and how to invest.

However, due diligence is not an isolated link. It needs to be coordinated with other investment processes and also requires good cooperation between investment teams. If there is no effective coordination and teamwork, due diligence may become a formalism or a formality, which can not really play its due role. This article will explore the relationship between due diligence and collaboration and teamwork from the following three aspects:

Synergy between 1. due diligence and investment strategy

Before making due diligence, investors need to clarify their investment strategy, that is, why they want to invest, what kind of company they want to invest in, and what goals they want to achieve. These issues determine the scope, focus and depth of due diligence. Without a clear investment strategy, due diligence can become a blind or casual act that cannot effectively support decision-making.

For example, if an investor is targeting an acquisition, they need to conduct a comprehensive and detailed due diligence on the target business, including all aspects of finance, law, tax, etc., to ensure that no important information or potential risks are missed. If investors are aiming at strategic cooperation, they need to focus on the market, technology, human resources and other aspects of the target enterprise to assess the complementarity and synergy between the two sides. If investors are targeting venture capital, they need to focus on the innovation, growth potential and exit mechanism of the target enterprise to determine whether there is sufficient return and risk control.

Through the professional services of Shangpu Consulting, the client successfully completed the acquisition and achieved its rapid development in the Chinese market.

Synergy between 2. due diligence and transaction structure

After the due diligence, the investor needs to design the appropriate trading structure based on the results of the due diligence, I .e. how to invest and in what manner and conditions. These issues determine the efficiency, security and sustainability of transactions. Without a reasonable transaction structure, due diligence can become a useless or harmful act that does not truly realize the value of the investment.

For example, if investors find that the target company has a greater financial risk or legal dispute, they need to protect their interests by setting up appropriate guarantees, guarantees, indemnities, and other provisions. If investors find that the target company has high growth potential or synergies, they need to incentivize cooperation by setting reasonable equity ratios, management rights allocations, performance commitments, and other provisions. If investors find that the target company has a strong ability to innovate or exit mechanism, then they need to set flexible transfer, repurchase, listing and other terms to protect their returns and exit.

Through the professional services of Shangpu Consulting, the customer successfully reached a cooperation with the target company and achieved a win-win situation for both parties in the Internet field.

3. internal and external cooperation within the team

In the process of due diligence, investors need to form a professional and efficient due diligence team, including experts in different fields such as finance, law, taxation, market, technology, and human resources.

These experts need to have good communication and collaboration within the due diligence team to ensure the quality and efficiency of the due diligence. At the same time, the due diligence team also needs to have good communication and cooperation with the target enterprise, intermediary agencies, external consultants and other relevant parties to ensure the smooth and effective due diligence.

For example, the due diligence team needs to hold regular meetings to share their own due diligence progress and findings, solve problems and difficulties encountered in a timely manner, and form a unified and complete due diligence report. The team and the target company need to establish a relationship of trust and cooperation, obtain the required information and materials, conduct on-site visits and exchanges, and resolve possible questions and objections. The due diligence team needs to maintain good contact and coordination with intermediaries, understand the transaction process and requirements, provide timely feedback on due diligence results and recommendations, and participate in transaction negotiations and signing. The due diligence team and external consultants need to make full use of their expertise and experience to obtain valuable information and opinions, validate due diligence results and assumptions, and improve the quality and credibility of due diligence.
