Why professional due diligence matters
Thorough due diligence prevents costly surprises and protects your investment. Acquiring a company or stake is a strategic decision that comes with significant financial and legal risks. Without detailed analysis, hidden debts, unresolved tax issues, or unfavourable contracts can go unnoticed.
Danube Tax conducts a comprehensive review of all crucial aspects of a company – from financials and liabilities to contracts, tax, and social security risks. Our detailed reports give you a clear decision-making basis and help you assess a realistic purchase price.
Especially in cross-border transactions, tax due diligence is essential. We check whether existing tax liabilities have been settled properly, identify risks, and uncover optimisation opportunities.
Professional due diligence not only shields you from financial losses but also strengthens your position at the negotiating table. We help you optimise contract terms, negotiate price adjustments, and safeguard your interests.
With Danube Tax, you have a partner by your side who supports you throughout the entire transaction and ensures your investment rests on solid ground. Trust our experience to make well-informed, risk-free decisions.
