Hi Tobias,
I think the amount of due diligence conducted will usually depend on the kind of the deal that is being done.
For example, buying out a JV partner that you’ve worked with for years will require less due diligence than buying a shareholding into a new company you’ve never dealt with before, in a different country.
Speaking from a corporate development and not an investment banking perspective, using the above cases, the JV transaction may need one or two months of due dilligence while the other case could possibly take about 6-8 months worth of due diligence.
What do you think?
Best,
Seun
