Legal Audit of Business: How to Protect Your Investment in Georgia?
The dynamic business environment and liberal tax regime in Georgia attract a growing number of local and foreign investors. However, acquiring a company or a stake involves hidden risks that could lead to catastrophic financial losses. This is why Legal Due Diligence (Legal Audit) is critical.
In this article, we explore why an audit is your investment “insurance,” what the stages are, and how the KH Partners team helps clients make secure decisions.
What is a Legal Audit and Why is it Essential?
A legal audit is a “complete diagnostic” of a company. Before signing a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), you must know the legal “mines” hidden beneath the surface. Without professional verification, an investor risks acquiring:
-
Hidden Debts: Liabilities not on the balance sheet but legally binding.
-
Ongoing Litigation: Potential multi-thousand dollar fines or property disputes.
-
Defective Licenses: Permits that could be revoked at any time.
-
Tax Risks: Incorrectly declared operations leading to future asset seizures.
