Due diligence is performed by equity research analysts, fund managers, broker-dealers, individual investors, and companies that are considering acquiring other companies. Due diligence by individual investors is voluntary.
The team carrying out the due diligence must involve the buyer's own personnel as well as its legal and financial advisers and accountants. Only the buyer's own personnel will be able to make effective judgements as to the commercial importance and potential risk brought to light by the information uncovered.
Typically, the buyer is responsible for conducting due diligence in a real estate transaction. However, Allegro recommends to our clients, when they're sellers, to conduct their own due diligence before taking a property to market in order to be aware of deficiencies.
