A new level of due dilligence
Comprehensive Due Diligence for Informed Investment Decisions
The Investment Checkers provides comprehensive due diligence and verification services for UK issuers seeking to raise funds through varying fund structures. Our team of experts is dedicated to delivering thorough, unbiased assessments of a company's overall financial health, performance, management, operations, and growth prospects.
The Investment Checkers Process
Our rigorous due diligence process is divided into ten main categories, each with its own set of sub-categories, to provide a holistic view of a company's potential for success. These categories include:
Operations and Execution
Financial Analysis
Business Model and Industry Analysis
Management and Governance
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Risk Management
Growth and Expansion
Social and Environmental Impact
Valuation and Capital Structure
Exit Strategy
Our process begins by submitting a comprehensive questionnaire to the company containing 100 general business-related questions as part of the initial verification process. We then conduct an in-depth review of the company, its corporate structure, management team, and supporting documents, such as the business plan, information memorandum, and pitch deck, to ensure the accuracy and truthfulness of the information provided.
In addition to reviewing the company's internal information, our team also conducts extensive external research on the market, competition, and potential risk areas for the business. This allows us to identify any potential red flags and request further information from the company, if necessary, before commencing our assessment in each of the main categories and their sub-categories.
Scoring Matrix and Report Generation
Our assessment produces an overall score out of 100, which is determined by the scores from each sub-category. The allocation of points in each category and sub-category is subjective and may vary depending on the company and the specific assessment. The final score is then used to determine whether the opportunity is deemed investment-ready based on our review.
The results of our due diligence process are presented in a detailed report that includes the overall score, a summary of key findings, and recommendations for improvement. If there are any stand-out elements of the business that require additional comments, we will include these in our report, along with any findings we have concluded during our research.
Empowering Investors and Issuers
Our goal at Investment Checkers is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of a company's offering and corporate structure and identify areas that can be strengthened by providing suggested feedback and constructive criticism where needed. This information can be used by issuers to identify areas for improvement and by investors to make informed decisions about the company's potential for success.
Once completed, the report is made available to investors through a private portal on our website, accessible via a unique QR code. Companies that have undergone our assessment can demonstrate their commitment to quality by including our approved logo and QR code on their offering documents.
It is important to note that The Investment Checkers’ due diligence process and reports are not intended to be construed as investment advice. The report is a tool to help identify areas of the business that may need improvement and to better understand the risks and potential rewards associated with investing in the company. However, it is always important to conduct ongoing due diligence and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
By providing this comprehensive due diligence service, Investment Checkers aims to empower both issuers and investors, ultimately strengthening companies and fostering a more transparent and informed investment landscape.
