Form Overview
The Due Diligence Checklist structures a threshold line of inquiry supporting information requests from an acquisition target. The outline begins with a series of specific questions concerning investors, shareholder agreements, technology assets and valuation, along with a request for general background materials. The legal status of the target organization is addressed, along with capitalization and securities information. Financial and tax matters are covered, as well as information requests on contracts, real property, employee personnel, insurance matters and intellectual property assets. A list of matters in litigation, product development activities and transactions with related parties is requested. The checklist serves as a starting point for requesting information. Requests become increasingly detailed as information is learned, requiring continuous update of the checklist throughout the due diligence process. You can find answers to your questions using our extensive library of
audio questions and answers.
