Due Diligence is essential to identify potential hidden risks in the purchase and sale operation.

Our approach ensures that changes are made efficiently, minimizing risks and maximizing growth opportunities.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does a legal due diligence analyze?
A legal due diligence analyzes all the legal aspects of the target company that may affect the operation: the corporate structure and corporate documents, the most relevant contracts (clients, suppliers, key employees, financing), ongoing or potential litigations, intellectual and industrial property, regulatory compliance (GDPR, compliance, licenses), and the registration status of the properties.
How much does a multidisciplinary due diligence cost?
The cost depends on the size of the company, the scope of the analysis (legal, tax, labor, and/or financial) and the complexity of the operation. At Nextica, we conduct due diligences for operations ranging from €500,000 to several million. Contact us to obtain a quote based on the specific characteristics of the operation.
What happens if the due diligence finds serious problems?
The issues encountered are reflected in the negotiation: they may result in a reduction of the purchase price (price adjusted for contingencies), in the inclusion of clauses for representations, warranties, and indemnities in the SPA (Sale and Purchase Agreement), in the deposit of part of the price in an escrow until the resolution of the issue, or in the decision not to close the transaction if the risk is unacceptable.
Is it possible to do an express due diligence in a few days?
Yes, for transactions where the seller requires speed or where the buyer already has prior information, we carry out limited scope due diligences focused on the "red flags": the areas of highest risk of the company (fiscal, labor or legal depending on the sector). Within 5-7 working days we can deliver an executive report on the main identified risks.
