Conducting due diligence analysis prior to entering into a sponsorship agreement with an individual, a club or team, an event or an official body is crucial. Being aware of the third party’s background can flag unexpected controversies and generally help your company assess what is your risk tolerance as well clarifying the  advantages and disadvantages of the proposed deal.

Successful sponsorships with high-profile individuals often extend over the long term and involve large investments. But they can also present higher risks and the due diligence process will need to take into consideration their public and private persona and their character in addition to their background and financial records. A sudden controversial behaviour or unpredictable character could cause reputational damage to a brand associated with the subject.
