Question: What documents should I be looking for in the due diligence process?

In a due diligence process, key documents to look out for include, but are not limited to, employment agreements, client agreements, agreements with suppliers, any licenses required for the operation of the business, and relevant leases.

Depending on the type of business you are buying, other documents may be key, for example, if you are purchasing a business which provides financial services, you need to ensure that the business has the necessary licenses and associated documents.
