In short
This refers to the act of revealing all relevant and material information about a business or transaction. Full disclosure is legally required and critical for making informed decisions as a buyer.
During due diligence, both the seller and lender are obligated to provide full disclosure of material information. As a buyer, you should push for complete transparency on financials, contracts, and any potential liabilities. Any intentional misrepresentation or omission of material facts can have serious legal consequences and impact your loan approval.
