Why due diligence is essential even for private investments

Due diligence means ‘appropriate caution’ — systematically investigating an investment before making a decision.

  • Unrealistic returns
  • Unclear party structures
  • Hidden liabilities

Protect your capital: have your investment reviewed before you sign.
