Latin America stretches from Mexico to the bottom of South America and encompasses many different countries and cultures, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Peru and Venezuela, among others. As a whole, unfortunately, Latin America has a reputation for corruption and bribery when it comes to doing business. These things have been generational– it’s not like corruption and bribery are a new thing. That said, there have been positive changes in recent times. However, if you plan to do business in Latin America, due diligence is paramount.
SMG Consulting Provides Due Diligence Services in Latin America
SMG Consulting Services can help you do due diligence, taking reasonable steps to appraise a business comprehensively so you know who you’re dealing with and what they’re truly like. You can find out a lot of information about assets and liabilities, and doing due diligence helps you evaluate commercial potential. In a way, it’s a “test” to see whether or not you want to work with a particular individual or company.
What’s the risk of working with someone or some company in Latin America? Due diligence helps answer that major question. A company like SMG Consulting Services can also help with things like international bank searches, intellectual property consulting and investigations. You can discover whether the entity you want to deal with is operating legally or illegally. Do they take bribes? Are they corrupt? Do they pay taxes properly, or not? Might they help or hurt you and your company? Have there been thefts? What’s the person or company’s reputation in Latin America and/or in the USA? Background checks can be done.
