« Back to Glossary IndexDue Diligence
Due diligence is the process of investigating and assessing a company, investment, or transaction before finalizing an agreement. In the UAE, due diligence is critical for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), real estate transactions, corporate structuring, and regulatory compliance. Companies must conduct legal, financial, and operational due diligence to verify the legitimacy of assets, contracts, and financial statements. UAE authorities, including the Ministry of Economy (MOE) and free zone regulators, impose strict due diligence requirements, especially for foreign investors and companies engaging in cross-border transactions. Neglecting proper due diligence can expose businesses to financial losses, regulatory penalties, or legal disputes.
