Diligence the seller commissions on its own business before a sale, packaged as a report that buyers can rely on to speed and de-risk their <em>process</em>.
Regulatory sign-off that a merger may proceed without harming competition — a condition to closing that can delay, reshape, or <em>block</em> a deal entirely.
A buyer's early, non-binding signal of interest — usually a price range and key terms — submitted to advance in a sale process before a formal <em>bid</em>.
The live session where a target's leadership presents the business to a shortlisted buyer — part pitch, part diligence, where the <em>story</em> meets the numbers.
A single granular file — one row per loan, account, or customer — listing every position in a portfolio so a buyer can model it <em>line by line</em>.
A diligence study that strips reported earnings down to their sustainable, recurring core — the analysis a buyer trusts more than the audited <em>numbers</em>.
