Due diligence… Often talked about. Rarely explained!

This is the second instalment of a two-part special on due diligence with a primary focus on Companies House, featuring long-time friend of the pod, Sean the Property Tax Accountant.

Last week, Sean identified five types of due diligence: are commercial, operational, reputational, financial, and legal.

This week, we use this knowledge to look into the profile of someone from the world of property that many of you will know and see whether what they have said in the public domain matches the information held about them on Companies House.

At the end of the show, we reveal the identity of our mystery property person.

During the episode, we discuss:

·      The importance for thorough due diligence

·      Utilizing Company's House for due diligence on individuals or companies 

·      Reviewing company accounts and information on Companies House

·      Asking for management accounts from company representatives

·      Assessing financial position through management accounts

·      Checking profitability, rental income, and interest rates on loans
