Analysis in 11 business days

Hard facts about your share structure

At Alians Business Diplomacy, we know that in the IT industry, time is the most expensive currency. Most law firms need a month just to review the documentation. We complete a full security analysis in exactly 11 business days. This is the time in which our four-person team from the Katowice office breaks down your company agreement and all amendments signed since 2016. We focus on what is most important for the founder: do you still have real power over your own business.

We check 43 risk criteria

Our work is not about reading texts for the sake of reading. We analyze 43 specific flashpoints that most often appear during an investor entry or funding round. In April 2024, in one of our clients from Gliwice, we found a dead clause about the right of first refusal that could have blocked the sale of shares worth 142,000 PLN. Such details decide whether you rule the company or just work in it. The game for control starts with tight documentation.

A report instead of fluff

Instead of thick volumes of legal jargon, we deliver concrete points. Our report usually has from 12 to 15 pages. Every page is a concrete fact about your IP or voting rights. We calculate what your shares will realistically be after potential dilution in the next round. Money likes silence, but founders need clear data before entering the negotiation room. Since 2017, we have conducted 87 such analyses for software houses and technology startups, which allowed us to develop a flawless operation scheme.

Intellectual property protection in practice

We verify if source codes and licenses actually belong to the company. This is the most common point where investors lower the company's valuation. Last quarter, we corrected 7 contracts with B2B subcontractors that lacked precise clauses on the transfer of economic copyrights. Such gaps are a ticking time bomb. We defuse it in less than two weeks, giving you a document that you can show in a due diligence process with a clear conscience.

Logistics and concrete deadlines

We start work within 24 hours of you giving us access to the virtual document repository. Our process is organized: 3 days for a preliminary audit, 5 days for a detailed analysis, and 3 days for preparing recovery recommendations. We don't call with every question – we gather them into one list so as not to distract you from managing the team. We respect your time because we know that building a product is more important than bureaucracy. We make sure that building stands on a hard legal foundation.

Heads-up: If your company agreement has been changed more than 4 times in the last year, the analysis may be extended by a maximum of 2 business days, of which we will inform you right at the start.
