Due Diligence:
Great risk is faced when companies seek business partnerships, new customers, mergers and acquisitions, new employees or are simply investing in a new business proposition.
Due diligence is the process of research and analysis that takes place prior to these taking place, in order to determine the value of the investment and see if there are any 'skeletons in the closet'.
With our considerable experience of this area we can undertake many of the activities involved in the due diligence process, freeing valuable time for you to manage your ongoing business.

Case Study:
105 provided a full organisational and financial structure of a target UK Islamic finance company for takeover. We mapped the market place, carried out a financial investigation and SWOT analysis. Our Intelligence Profiles division investigated the Directors, to seek out any hidden skeletons. As a result 105 saw no major threats with the company and identified future potential opportunities for expansion and profits. Our foreign clients decided to proceed with their takeover and have since taken on our restructuring recommendations.
