 The business environment of the 21st Century contains many new challenges to any business entity. We live in a litigious society where every business needs to protect and limit the exposure to adverse conditions that can arise during commerce. Performing comprehensive due diligence PRIOR to commencing a business relationship can eliminate the need for costly litigation later. If litigation is the only answer then knowing the facts before proceeding can limit your exposure to uncollectable judgments and unnecessary legal fees.
Effective due diligence will enable you to position yourself favorably so that you can:
1. Pre-Assess Before Filing a Lawsuit
Lawsuits are expensive and grueling experiences. If you win, that’s great but you still have to collect which can be yet another frustrating experience. Collecting on a judgment is all but impossible if there are pre-existing liens and judgments ahead of you.
 So why go through the expense, time and aggravation of a lawsuit if you know beforehand that you have no chance of payment? The only person that will be paid is your attorney.
2. Collecting on a Judgment
If you prevail in a lawsuit and a judgment has been issued you now become a creditor. A lien can be placed on personal and business real estate, inventory, accounts receivable and other fixed assets. But before you can place the lien the assets have to be located and identified.
3. New Business Venture or Investment Opportunity
When considering a business relationship with someone else, it is prudent to investigate the strengths of that particular company or individual. Researching and assessing a corporation’s financial strength is not much different from an individual’s financial standing. Corporate financial reports from D & B consist of supplied information that is not always verified.
