Due Diligence
The structured review investors and fund managers conduct before committing capital to a company.
Due diligence is the process by which investors, fund managers, and acquirers evaluate a company before investing. It typically covers corporate governance, cap table accuracy, financial records, legal compliance, team backgrounds, and market traction. In Ethiopia's emerging private markets, diligence often stalls when documentation is scattered or incomplete. SEBL structures company and investor records so diligence conversations start from verified, organized data rather than ad-hoc document requests.
