????在進(jìn)行這些盡職調(diào)查的過(guò)程中，有一些實(shí)用的建議須謹(jǐn)記。首先，要主動(dòng)詢問(wèn)自己是否已回答了所有關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題，和其他人相比情況如何。早一點(diǎn)知道真相。不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。利用獲得的反饋，改進(jìn)演示文書(shū)，改善公司運(yùn)營(yíng)。

????第二，對(duì)投資者進(jìn)行盡職調(diào)查。盡職調(diào)查的過(guò)程是長(zhǎng)期合作關(guān)系的基石，因此雙方需要同樣的安心和信任。投資者關(guān)系近似于婚姻。婚姻中留點(diǎn)神秘感是好事，但雙方最好做到對(duì)彼此的基本情況心里有數(shù)。

????As you go through the due diligence process, there are some practical tips to keep in mind. First, be proactive in asking if you have answered all the key questions, and ask how you compare to others. Get to the truth early. Waste no time. Use the feedback to strengthen your presentation and your company.

????Secondly, conduct your own due diligence of the investor. This process is the foundation for the long term partnership, so both sides need the same level of comfort and trust. The investor relationship is akin to marriage. It's nice to have a little mystery in your marriage, but you better understand each other on the fundamentals.
