Most transactions do not fail because of lack of interest. They fail during diligence — when assumptions are tested, inconsistencies surface, and confidence erodes.

Delnor Capital advises on due diligence and transaction preparedness to reduce execution risk before capital, counterparties, or lenders are formally engaged.

Due diligence is not a document review exercise. It is a confidence test. It evaluates whether the business holds together under scrutiny across:

• financial integrity and cash-flow quality,
• operational consistency and scalability,
• legal, regulatory, and compliance readiness,
• governance discipline and decision history,
• alignment between narrative and reality.

When gaps emerge late, leverage is lost quickly.

Many deal failures originate from avoidable issues, including:

• inconsistencies between financials and operational reality,
• optimistic assumptions without downside framing,
• informal governance or undocumented decisions,
• unresolved regulatory or compliance exposure,
• misalignment between promoters and management.

These issues rarely appear in pitch meetings. They appear when verification begins.

Explaining issues during diligence is rarely effective. Preparation is. Preparedness involves:

• anticipating scrutiny before it happens,
• identifying gaps internally rather than defensively,
• addressing weaknesses where possible,
• framing unavoidable risks transparently.

Diligence punishes surprises, not imperfections.
