Types of company due diligence procedures in Ireland

There are several ways of verifying an Irish company. The most popular company due diligence proceedings in Ireland are:

• -          financial due diligence;
• -          commercial due diligence;
• -          legal due diligence.

Due diligence procedures can be performed by the interested party by doing several inquiries with the Irish Companies Register Office where most information can be found, or it can be performed by specialists who can also verify other aspects related to company the client is about to go into business with. 

Due diligence procedures should start after the two parties involved in the sale of a company have agreed upon the sale price and terms of sale. The accountants and lawyers involved in a due diligence procedure can perform this action for a period of a few weeks (customarily, less than one month), in accordance with the type of due diligence you are interested in.

If you are interested in checking the financial situation of a business partner, the procedure can last for a short period of time, as most of the data you might be interested in is available at the Irish CRO. Our Irish company formation agents can perform a company due diligence procedure for you.
