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.

What else do investors ask for?

Ownership of intellectual property (assignments from founders and employees), key contracts and change-of-control clauses, labour and payroll compliance, and handling of personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. DPIIT recognition and eligibility for the start-up profit deduction are also checked.
