Due Diligence Services

Before you commit capital, hire a senior executive, or put a candidate forward, you want to know what’s actually true. North Point runs human-centered due diligence — pre-M&A and pre-hire research that goes past the documents to the people who know the real story, then tests what they say against the record. Brought in early, we can often tell you quickly whether the deal materials are describing the business as it is, or as someone wants it to look.
How We Help:

• Pre-M&A and pre-transaction diligence: Vetting a target company, its leadership, and its claims before you invest or acquire.
• Voice of the customer: Independent conversations with a target’s customers to test whether the business is as healthy as the deal materials suggest.
• Forensic referencing (backchannel): Discreet, off-list reference checks on founders and executives that go well beyond the names a candidate offers.
• Pre-hire due diligence: Background and reputational checks on senior candidates before you extend an offer.
• Candidate self-vetting: A rigorous, independent review of your own record, surfacing the vulnerabilities an opposition researcher would find so you can prepare rather than be surprised.
  

• Flat fee, scoped upfront: Every engagement is priced before it begins, so you know the cost from day one.
• Advisory, not just answers: We take the time to understand your business, so what we surface is genuinely material to the decision in front of you, and we stay at your side to interpret the findings and help you choose what to do next.
• Senior people do the work: Licensed investigators and attorneys handle each matter end to end, using secure, modern tools to move through large volumes of material fast.
