Enviro-Lynx Investigations


DUE DILIGENCE SERVICES

We do more than simply conduct searches and provide results.  We conduct preliminary inquiries to ensure that we are searching under the correct names and within the correct jurisdiction; we review search results with a critical eye; use the information obtained to focus additional searches; prepare an easy-to-read report and provide suggestions where follow-up or additional inquiries may be necessary.

We have access to a wide selection of public and private  resources enabling us to provide you with the most comprehensive, accurate, up-to-date information possible.   

CORPORATE DUE DILIGENCE SERVICES

Conducting a due diligence investigation on companies, their owners or management is one of the most useful tools in identifying investment scams, disreputable companies, poor business practices and conflicts of interest.  The following are some of our corporate due diligence investigations:

  • Individual Due Diligence: An individual due diligence investigation is conducted on company’s owners, officers, directors or management personal. It consists of a review of public records, professional membership records, a national bankruptcy search, a provincial lien search, a litigation search and a comprehensive media search.
  • Corporate Due Diligence: A corporate due diligence investigation will determine if a company is a legally registered, provide information on the company’s registration, its owners and their addresses, shareholders, style names, previous names and amalgamation history. It will also identify security agreements, financing statements, judgements and tax liens filed against the company, provide an accurate credit history as well as highlight the company’s litigious nature, insolvency status and public activities. Public records, business licensing and industry affiliations will also be reviewed.
  • Enhanced Corporate Due Diligence: An enhanced corporate due diligence investigation should be conducted prior to the signing of any major contracts, prospectus financing, purchase or sale of a business, negotiated buy-out’s or hostile takeovers. This type of investigation is custom designed to meet your specific needs and involves a more in depth look at a company’s financial abilities, relationships, major investors and tax compliance history.

INVESTMENT DILIGENCE SERVICES

An investment due diligence investigation is custom designed to focus on and identify issues relating to the specific investment you are interested in.  Before you consider investing your hard earned money in high risk stocks, public companies (especially resource and technology companies), the local business around the corner or the latest get rich quick scheme you heard of ...
conduct an investment due diligence investigation and ensure that you know who you are investing in.  We can help identify your risks and enable you to make the right decision for you.

ENVIRONMENTAL DUE DILIGENCE SERVICES

Protect your investment and reduce your liability before you purchase a property.  Under Ontario law, the purchaser assumes unlimited liability for the environmental condition of a purchased property.  Before you buy, conduct an environmental due diligence:

  • Site Report: Utilizing federal, provincial and private sources, a site report helps to identify a property's historical land use and its current environmental risks.  A site report includes a site diagram, a statistical profile highlighting the results of a comprehensive environmental database search, a site profile and a detailed report.
  • Complete Report: Similar to a site report, a complete report includes all of the same information as well as information on neighbouring properties (within 250m radius on each side).  This provides the buyer with an understanding of environmental risks that may indirectly affect the property in questions.  Site report is CSA-Z768-01 compliant.
  • Comprehensive Environmental Due Diligence or Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment:   Some properties that have a questionable history should undergo a more comprehensive environmental due diligence investigation or a complete phase 1 ESA prior to their purchase.   Our in-house Certified Environmental Inspectors can meet all of your environmental due diligence needs.  All environmental due diligence services are CSA-Z768-01 compliant.
