Due Diligence

FS Vector provides focused due diligence services that directly address specific regulatory, risk, and compliance issues in transactions involving innovative financial services companies. Our approach goes beyond traditional check-the-box exercises: we assess the operational viability of compliance programs, identify material regulatory risks, and evaluate the practical challenges that clients will face in integrating, operating, or partnering with target companies.

With our experience advising hundreds of companies on regulatory compliance and our focus on launching fintech products, our team brings deep operational expertise to every engagement. We don't just document compliance programs, we build them. This hands-on experience positions us to identify issues that matter most to the success of the transaction and provide practical, actionable recommendations.

We structure our due diligence services to meet the unique needs of different transaction types and investment strategies:

Full-scope M&A due diligence across governance, risk frameworks, business operations, and specialized compliance domains
Rapid partnership and investment reviews designed to surface critical issues under compressed timelines
Sector-specific deep dives for payments, digital assets, lending, and custody operations, among others
Post-transaction integration and remediation support
Charter strategy and feasibility studies when building regulated capabilities proves more viable than acquisition
