Due Diligence of the Company
Every acquisition hides something — tax exposures, contract traps, compliance gaps, title defects. Due diligence finds them before you sign, when they can still be priced in, indemnified, or walked away from.

Overview
What company due diligence covers
Financial diligence: quality of earnings, working capital, debt, and accounting practices.
Legal diligence: contracts, licenses, litigation, property titles, and IP ownership.
Tax diligence: pending disputes, exposures, and the tax cost of the deal structure.
Secretarial diligence: ROC filings, shareholding records, and corporate authorizations.
The output is a risk-ranked report — what matters, what it costs, and what to do about each finding.
Benefits
Why acquirers and investors diligence through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
One review, all angles covered
Financials, legal, tax, secretarial, HR — one coordinated review, not five disconnected reports you have to stitch together.
Findings ranked by importance
We rank findings by what actually matters — deal-breakers first, negotiable issues next, FYI items last.
Issues paired with solutions
Every significant finding comes with a practical fix: price adjustment, indemnity, condition precedent, or walk away.
Document-deep, not deck-deep
Our team reads filings, contracts, and records — not just management presentations. The gaps are usually in the documents.
Findings flow into the deal
Findings feed directly into the deal documents — warranties, indemnities, and closing conditions reflect what we found.
Documents
Documents required for company due diligence
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Company due diligence process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
Fix the scope and checklist
We agree the scope — investment, acquisition, lending, or partnership — because scope decides which records matter most.
Verify public records first
MCA records, charges, and filing history are independently verified — never rely only on documents the target provides.
Review the data room
The data room documents — financials, contracts, licences, and litigation — are reviewed against the checklist.
Probe tax and regulatory risks
Tax, labour law, and sectoral compliance are checked for hidden liabilities — these are where surprises usually hide.
Report with risk grading
Findings are graded by severity with recommended protections — indemnities, escrow, or price adjustments.
Feed into the deal documents
The report feeds directly into the transaction documents — conditions precedent and representations are drafted from it.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India

Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation

- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Financial (numbers and accounting), legal (contracts, litigation, title), tax (disputes, exposures), secretarial (ROC compliance, shareholding), and operational/HR. We scope the review to your deal.
Typically 2–4 weeks for a focused review, depending on the target's size and document readiness. Deep diligence on large targets takes longer.
That depends on what we find. Some issues are fixed with a price adjustment or indemnity; some are genuine walk-away signals. We give you a clear recommendation, not just a list.
Often yes — many deals need only financial and tax diligence, or only legal. We scope the review to what your deal actually needs and quote accordingly.
We need enough access to verify — data rooms, document sharing, and usually a management Q&A. We work under strict NDAs.
We can. Vendors commission diligence to speed up deals and pre-empt buyer findings. It doesn't replace buyer diligence, but it shortens it.
Quote-based, depending on target size, scope, and timeline. Describe the deal and we'll give you a clear fee before starting.
