Due diligence
You've found the asset and the price sounds right. What you cannot yet see is the litigation history, the licensing gaps, the deferred maintenance priced as "recently renovated", the staff liabilities, and the difference between the P&L you were shown and the one the tax file tells.
What we do
We coordinate the full review under one team: legal, financial, technical and operational. Egyptian hotel transactions have their own traps, from land tenure and building permits to tourism licensing and utility compliance, and we examine each with specialists who have seen them before.
What we examine, at minimum:
- Project site visit & physical inspection
- Asset register, tagging & job-completion certificates
- Insurance, property all-risk policy
- Legal status, any open cases
- Tax status & pending settlements
- Social insurance, fines & labour complaints
- Bank position, loans & mortgage certificates
- Summary of all contracts & long-term commitments
- Monthly fixed expenses & supplier advances
- Independent feasibility study
- Legal documents, licences, title deed, tax & VAT, mandates, power of attorney
- Minutes of general assemblies & board meetings
- Current-year budget
- Next-year budget & rolling forecast
- Latest statement of income (P&L)
- Balance-sheet reconciliation
- Payroll list, cash & non-cash earnings
- Last three years' statements of income
- Latest external auditor financial statements
- Accounts receivable, with bad-debt provision
- Accounts payable report
What you receive
A single written report in plain language: what is verified, what is broken, what it costs to fix, and what it means for the price. Red flags first, not buried in appendices.
What we never do
We don't paper over findings to keep a deal alive, and we take no fee from the seller or any success fee contingent on closing.
If you are inside an exclusivity window, time matters. Contact us with the deadline and we will tell you the same day whether the review can be done properly within it.
