Can I ask for financial information before I buy its shares?

Question: Can I ask for the seller to provide me with company information before I buy the shares?

Answer:

Yes, of course. Before you purchase shares in a company, you should definitely perform some due diligence and make sure that the company is financially viable. This involves a thorough review of the financial information of the company, currently existing contracts, and employee entitlements, etc.
