Investor Diligence
Whether you are evaluating a company as an investor, or preparing your company to be evaluated, the question is the same: does the structure actually hold?
Investors look beyond the cap table. They examine ownership, equity issuances, governance, approvals, and corporate records to determine whether the company is structured in a way that can support investment.
Founders are often preparing for this moment without full visibility into what will be reviewed or how closely the records will be examined.
Investor diligence is a structured review of company formation, ownership, equity, governance, and corporate records to identify legal and structural issues before capital is deployed. The goal is to understand risk, evaluate the reliability of the company's records, and determine whether the structure supports the investment being considered.
Core Mechanisms
01
Scope the Review
Evaluate whether the company's ownership, governance, equity, and corporate records meet the standards typically expected during an investment review.
02
Test the Records
Review cap tables, stock ledgers, equity issuances, board approvals, and governing documents to determine whether ownership and authority are properly supported
03
Identify Risk Areas
Highlight inconsistencies, missing approvals, documentation gaps, ownership issues, and other matters that may affect an investment decision.
04
Assess Readiness
Determine whether the structure can withstand diligence scrutiny and identify what should be addressed before capital is deployed.
