Buying a business in South Africa is always a major decision. Buying a business when immigrating to South Africa can be considered to be an even larger step.

Often large financial decisions are involved but, in addition to this, other matters have to taken into consideration:

• The appropriateness of the business for permit regulations
• Management run or hands on
• Existing financials and infrastructure
• Value for money
• Exit strategies
• Asset registers
• Outstanding or potential liabilities
• Market threats

A due diligence exercise provides you with the piece of mind that the purchase you are making is value for money.

It is common when purchasing a house to engage the services of a professional surveyor. Their job is to inspect the property to ensure it is what you expect it to be, point out areas of concern and ultimately, from a lender’s perspective, to answer the question: is it worth what you are paying for it?

Due diligence is a similar exercise on a business. It is your way of safeguarding your investment of time, money and commitment.
