Support Team

Due Diligence Coordinator

Beginning at the first meeting with a client, The Due Diligence Coordinator gathers and organizes the information and documents necessary to complete the sale. Performing such due diligence early allows us to identify, disclose, and resolve troublesome issues before a letter of intent is signed. Addressing these issues beforehand allows us to present the company’s information and instill confidence in the buyer. This shortens the due diligence period between the execution of the letter of intent and actual closing.
