At GSI, we specialise in implementing robust corporate due diligence (DD) processes tailored to your needs. Our team is experienced in conducting in-depth investigations, including forensic analysis, dark web searches and open source intelligence (OSINT). Whether for acquisitions or market entry, we offer a covert and customised approach to mitigate risks and support your strategic investments. 

Corporate Advisory Due Diligence 

Corporate acquisitions typically require comprehensive due diligence across commercial legal and financial domains. GSI has extensive experience managing both the execution of DD processes and responding to DD inquiries — whether locally or cross-border. Our translations division supports multinational transactions by handling different languages. 

Our investigative team excels in carrying out covert DD during acquisition processes, offering a program of intelligence-gathering steps that can be adapted to specific circumstances. 

Standard Outsourced Due Diligence 

With most data rooms now cloud-based or securely hosted on access-controlled servers, much of the due diligence work can be conducted remotely. 

For acquisitions, we assist with: 

• Preparing tailored DD questionnaires, especially for accountants who may not have the internal resources for client acquisitions. 

• Scrutinizing financials, debt load and ongoing litigation. 

• Managing and reporting on information received from target companies. 

For company sales, we provide: 

• Preparation of responses to DD inquiries from potential buyers, focusing on maximizing company valuation. 

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) 

Owners of family businesses looking to sell after a lifetime of work need thorough preparation for a smooth and successful sale.

• Sale planning: Maximising valuation through thorough documentation, systematisation and legal compliance.
