Pre-Investment Due Diligence Review

I am preparing to buy or invest in an Indian private limited company and need an objective, early-stage due-diligence review. The focus is on two core areas:

• Company records, ownership, and overall legal compliance (ROC filings, MCA master data, shareholding structure, board resolutions, statutory registers, licences, major litigation, environment & labour compliance, FEMA/FDI if applicable).

• Financial records, taxes, and outstanding debts (last three years’ audited financials, management accounts, GST and income-tax filings, bank statements, existing loans, contingent liabilities).

At this point I have not issued a term sheet. Your report should help me decide whether to proceed, what valuation adjustments may be needed, and which red flags must be resolved before moving forward.

Deliverables
1. A concise red-flag memo within three working days of receiving the data room link.
2. A full narrative report with supporting schedules, source references, and an executive summary of risks, within seven working days.
3. A short call or written Q&A to clarify findings.

Acceptance Criteria
• Each finding is graded high / medium / low risk with clear rationale.
• All legal and financial data points are cross-verified against publicly available records (MCA, GST portal, credit bureau, etc.).
• Recommendations are actionable, pointing to specific documents or corrections required before the next stage.

I will grant access to all internal documents I already possess; you may independently pull publicly available filings. Tools such as MCA21, Tally data exports, and Excel modelling are welcome as long as the final outputs are in PDF and editable Excel.

Please keep the initial red-flag memo crisp and jargon-free so non-finance stakeholders can digest it quickly.
