Corporate Due Diligence

Investments, transactions, restructuring and other strategic decisions often require a clear understanding of a company's corporate records, ownership structure, statutory compliance and governance position. A structured review can help identify documentation gaps, unresolved compliance matters and other issues that may require attention before a decision is implemented.

LegaFin provides corporate due diligence services in India for promoters, investors and businesses. Our support includes review of ROC and MCA records, corporate documentation, shareholding and capital structure, statutory compliance, corporate governance and identified compliance gaps.

Corporate Compliance Due Diligence

We review relevant corporate and compliance information to help clients understand the documented compliance position of the business. The scope can be aligned with the nature of the proposed investment, transaction, restructuring or other strategic requirement.

ROC & MCA Record Review

ROC and MCA records can provide important information about a company's statutory filings and corporate history. LegaFin supports the review of relevant records and coordinates related requirements with its ROC & MCA Compliance practice where necessary.

Corporate Documentation Review

Corporate records help establish how important decisions and actions have been documented. Our review may cover relevant corporate documents in the context of the due diligence scope. Documentation gaps can also be addressed through Corporate Documentation & Approvals support.

Shareholding & Capital Structure Review

Understanding the documented ownership and capital position is important in many investments and transactions. LegaFin reviews relevant shareholding and capital structure information, with related matters coordinated through Share Capital & Securities Advisory where required.

Statutory Compliance Review

Due diligence can identify whether key statutory requirements and corporate filings have been addressed within the records made available for review. The objective is to highlight relevant compliance observations for consideration before the proposed decision or transaction proceeds.

Corporate Governance Review

Governance processes can be relevant to investors, promoters and management evaluating a business. We review relevant corporate governance records and can coordinate further support through our Corporate Secretarial & Governance Advisory services.

Identification of Compliance Gaps

A due diligence exercise may reveal missing documentation, filing issues or other compliance observations. LegaFin helps identify such gaps based on the records reviewed so that the relevant parties can evaluate appropriate next steps.

Due Diligence Reporting & Support

Findings from the review can be organised into due diligence observations and reporting support for the relevant stakeholders. Where a transaction requires a broader review, corporate due diligence can be coordinated with Business & Financial Due Diligence and Legal Due Diligence.

Due Diligence for Investments, Transactions & Restructuring

Corporate due diligence can support decision-making before an investment, transaction or restructuring exercise. Depending on the requirement, the review may be coordinated with LegaFin's Corporate Restructuring, funding, tax, finance and legal advisory teams to provide a more integrated view of the proposed matter.
