What is start-up due diligence?
Due diligence is the investigation an investor or buyer carries out before committing money. A founder-commissioned review before a round finds the same issues earlier, while they can still be fixed cheaply.
What do we review?
Financial: quality of revenue and margins, cash burn, working capital and unrecorded liabilities. Tax: TDS, GST and income-tax positions, including exposure on share premium received in years before the angel-tax provision stopped applying from assessment year 2025-26. Secretarial: whether the cap table matches the PAS-3, SH-7 and MGT-7 filings, and whether the ESOP scheme follows Rule 12 of the share-capital rules.
Why FEMA matters in start-up deals
Every earlier foreign investment needed a fair-value pricing certificate and an FC-GPR within 30 days; transfers needed FC-TRS. Gaps are common and are regularised with late-submission fees or compounding before the new investor's money comes in. We also check downstream investment and any investor from a land-border country.
