Happy Wednesday all. I'm reviewing a CIM for a US-based manufacturer that I'm interested in and am prepping Phase 1 diligence questions. I'm pre-LOI.


Does anyone have a set of questions that they could share?

Thanks Praful, I appreciate the response. I've tried both ChatGPT and BARD which is fair starting place, right now I'm looking for human validation of questions others have used in the process.

Here is what BARD returned:

Company overview What are the company's products and services? What are the company's target markets? What is the company's competitive landscape? What is the company's management team like? What is the company's financial performance? Operations What are the company's manufacturing facilities like? What equipment and technology does the company use? What are the company's supply chain and inventory management processes? What are the company's quality control procedures? What are the company's environmental and safety compliance procedures? Financial What are the company's audited financial statements for the past three years? What are the company's key financial metrics, such as revenue, profit margin, and cash flow? What are the company's debt levels? What are the company's capital expenditure plans? Legal and regulatory What are the company's outstanding legal liabilities? Is the company in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations? Does the company have any intellectual property assets? Does the company have any environmental liabilities? Human resources What is the company's employee headcount and turnover rate? What are the company's employee benefits and compensation packages? Is the company unionized? What are the company's diversity and inclusion policies?

This is perhaps not what you are looking for, but try ChatGPT. It surprised me for business services.
