SIGNALS / COMPETITIVE DILIGENCE
Competitive diligence
Deal in motion
A deal being diligenced, before the transaction.
Diligence is quiet, but it is not invisible. A structured records pull on a company or building — ownership, liens, permits, environmental — that reads like transaction prep tells you a deal is in motion, and often who else is already looking at the same target.
