Due Diligence in Kavadarci — Common Questions Answered
Foreign acquirers often ask the same questions before commissioning due diligence on a North Macedonian target. Here are clear answers to the questions we hear most often from clients considering deals in Kavadarci and the Vardar Region.
How long does due diligence take?
A red-flag review can be done in 3–5 business days. A full review on a target in Kavadarci usually runs 2–4 weeks, depending on the size of the company and the quality of the data room provided by the seller.
What does it cost?
Costs depend on scope and complexity. We provide a fixed-fee proposal or a capped estimate before starting work — no open-ended billing. For most mid-sized transactions, legal DD is a fraction of the deal value and pays for itself by surfacing issues that affect price.
Do you handle just legal, or also tax and financial?
We handle legal due diligence directly. For tax DD we coordinate with specialist tax advisors. For financial DD, we work alongside the acquirer's accountants or recommend a local audit firm.
What if the seller will not share documents?
Reluctance to share standard documents is itself a finding. We document refused requests and flag them in the report. Often, deal pressure resolves this — sellers who want to close eventually open up.
Can the report be relied on by our financing bank?
Yes, where required, we issue the report on a basis that can be relied upon by named third parties (lenders, co-investors) under standard reliance terms.
What happens if we find a major issue?
You have several options: renegotiate price, require the issue to be fixed before closing, get a specific indemnity, hold back part of the purchase price, or walk away. We help you decide based on your priorities and recommend the right structure for each material finding.
