Due Diligence in Financial Transactions: A Necessity in Mauritius

In today’s fast-paced business world, mergers and acquisitions have become a crucial strategy for companies to expand their operations, increase revenue, and stay competitive. However, navigating the complex process of due diligence is essential to ensure successful transactions.

Why Due Diligence Matters


A merger or acquisition can add significant value to a company, but without proper due diligence, it can also lead to costly mistakes. Due diligence is crucial in identifying potential risks and liabilities associated with the target company, including financial, operational, and legal issues.

In Mauritius, where the business landscape is rapidly evolving, due diligence is particularly important. With its strategic location and favorable tax regime, the island nation has become an attractive destination for international investors. However, this increased activity has also led to a greater need for robust due diligence practices.
