On today show, we are talking about performing even the most basic of due diligence when it comes to potential suppliers, customers, tenants, lenders, brokers.

It is sad to say, but there are large ecosystems of fraudulent players out there. 

Due diligence is both an art and a science. In fact, I have an upcoming episode where I interview a specialist in due diligence. On that show, we will dive into some of the more sophisticated techniques.

But on today’s show, we are focussing on even the most simple forms of due diligence that are so easy to perform, and quite frankly expose those individuals with a questionable history.
