How much does it cost to check a company (business) in UK?
To get an answer to this question, it is necessary to understand that the cost of due diligence in UK, as elsewhere, depends on the volume of work to be performed by lawyers and auditors, on the number of issues that are investigated, on the volume of materials provided for verification, on the difficulty in accessing the information that needs to be checked.
Depending on this, there are at least two types of business verification:
- Full due diligence report (full scope) – the most detailed and complete analysis of all provided documents, open sources of information, as well as sources of information with limited access.
- Selective due diligence report (red flag report) — only those questions raised for research are checked.
