Free M&A due diligence toolkit
M&A due diligence means confirming what you are buying before you sign. OpenDD assembles the core pre-deal checks — corporate structure, financials, intellectual property, litigation, sanctions and trust & risk — into one free workflow, each finding traceable to its primary source.
Start an M&A workup free →One target, every angle
Start from the target entity and work outward: confirm ownership and structure, review financial health, verify the IP portfolio and chain of title, pull litigation history, run sanctions screening, and assess security and privacy posture.
Build the dossier
Run the modules together and OpenDD compiles a dossier you can export to Word or PDF — a defensible, source-linked record of what you found and where it came from, ready to share with counsel or an investment committee.
Scale from a first pass
Use OpenDD for the fast, thorough first pass that tells you where to spend expensive advisor hours. When something needs a legal view, request an opinion on the findings from inside the tool. New to the process? Read what due diligence is.

Frequently asked questions
What does M&A due diligence include?
At minimum: corporate structure and ownership, financials, intellectual property, litigation and regulatory history, sanctions exposure, and security/privacy posture. OpenDD covers each as a free module.
Can OpenDD replace advisors?
It replaces the manual first pass and tells you where real risk sits, so advisor time is spent where it matters. High-stakes findings should still be reviewed by qualified counsel — which you can request in-tool.
Is the output shareable?
Yes — export a source-linked Word or PDF dossier for your deal team, counsel or investment committee.
