Warning signs experienced buyers investigate before committing. The observations below provide a strategic framework for discussion and are not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific professional advice.
Corporate and ownership risk
Inconsistent records, undisclosed beneficial ownership, missing approvals or unclear authority can undermine the transaction itself.
Commercial and financial risk
Customer concentration, non-recurring earnings, working-capital pressure, related-party arrangements and weak controls require careful testing.
Regulatory and operational risk
Licence gaps, data-security weaknesses, undocumented IP, key-person dependency and unresolved disputes can affect value, structure and completion conditions.
