What is 'due diligence'?

You may hear this term every time you make an investment, but what is it? We can explain it in a short paragraph

When a business submits an investment campaign to us, we conduct a comprehensive review process to ensure that everything they say on the campaign pitch is fair, clear and not misleading, and we only allow the campaign to go live if we’re satisfied with that review. Then, once a campaign has hit its target, we conduct a detailed legal due diligence process to ensure that the company is properly formed and that the investment is properly structured. This process can take a couple of weeks to a few months depending on the age and structure of the investee business. If we’re not happy with the outcome of that due diligence, we will cancel the investment and return all invested money to each investor.

Now that you have an overview of the due diligence, why stop here? You can read more about this process in detail in our article Due diligence: The Seedrs Standard.
