Certification & Due Diligence

About this Service

From a Form 15CB certificate for a foreign remittance to a 50-page due diligence report for a fundraise or acquisition, certifications by qualified professionals are the documents that move money, close transactions, and unlock approvals.

EXPORTAS issues every standard certification — Net Worth, Turnover, Capital Contribution, FIRC reconciliation, 15CA/15CB for foreign remittances, project report for bank borrowing, status holder eligibility — and conducts financial, tax, regulatory and legal due diligence for fundraising and M&A.

What is Certification & Due Diligence?

Certification is a written attestation by a qualified professional (Chartered Accountant, Cost Accountant, Company Secretary) confirming a specific factual or legal position — net worth, turnover, capital structure, etc. — relied on by tax authorities, banks, regulators or counterparties.

Due Diligence is a systematic investigation into a target entity's financials, taxes, regulatory compliance, contracts, assets and liabilities — typically before an investment, acquisition, lending decision, or major partnership.
