Every document your investor will ask for, ready before they ask.
DiligenceReady is a workspace for Indian MSMEs raising investment, taking a loan, or selling the business. It tells you exactly which documents are needed, shows you what is still missing, and lets your own CA or CS review each one and mark it cleared.
Your CA2 days ago
The ITC in the return does not match GSTR-2B for Q2. Can you add the reconciliation working?
Youyesterday
Added the working sheet. The gap is one vendor invoice that landed in the next quarter.
The review step, drawn rather than photographed, for a company that does not exist. The video will run the whole thing, from the check to a cleared item.
How it works
Three steps. You can finish the first one in about four minutes, without creating an account.
Fig 01
A list scoped to you
Turnover, structure and exports decide which items appear. You never see the ones that do not apply.

Held in your own Drive
Each document is written into a folder in your account. We hold no copy of any of it.

Cleared where it sits
Your CA reads each document beside the item it answers, raises a query, and marks it cleared.
- Step 1
Answer a few questions about your company
Turnover, headcount, how you are registered, whether you export. From that we build the exact document list that applies to you, and give you a readiness score out of 10 with the gaps named. This part is free and needs no account.
7.5 / 10
Example score. Three gaps left to close.
- Step 2
Upload documents against each item
Each item says exactly what is wanted: not “tax records” but the specific return, for the specific period, from the portal it comes from. Upload as you find them. The score moves up as gaps close, so you always know how far you are from done.
Your files go into your own Google Drive, not our servers. We cannot see anything outside the folders this app creates. How your documents are protected - Step 3
Invite your own CA or CS to review it
Send an invite to the professional you already work with. They open each document next to the item it answers, leave a note or raise a question, and mark it cleared. They cannot download anything, and they only see the one deal you invited them to.
The four states an item moves through
- Not started
The item is on your list with the exact document named.
- Uploaded
You have attached a file. Your score moves up.
- Queried
Your CA has asked for something. The question sits on the item.
- Cleared
Your CA is satisfied. That part of diligence is done.
Inside the workspace
One list, and it always says what is left
Every item names the document, the period and the portal it comes from. The score moves as you close gaps, and your CA works from the same screen you do.

Security
Your documents stay yours. Here is exactly what happens to them.
Balance sheets, ITRs and shareholder agreements are not files you hand over casually. So this is stated plainly rather than buried in a policy page.
Stored in your own Google Drive
When you connect Drive, we ask for a permission that reaches only the folders this app creates. We cannot open, list or search anything else in your account, and we do not keep a copy of your files on our servers. Disconnect and the documents stay with you.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Everything moves over TLS. Files sit encrypted at rest in Google Drive. Application data is hosted in India, in the Mumbai region, and does not leave it.
Nobody sees a document unless you invite them
There is no shared pool and no default access. A reviewer sees only the deal you invited them to, and nothing from any other company. We do not open your documents, and we do not share them with anyone.
Reviewers read, they do not download
An invited CA or CS views the document inside the workspace. There is no download route for that role. Every time a document is opened, who opened it and when is written to an audit trail you can read.
Your Google Drive
The file is written to a folder this app creates in your own account. We keep no copy.
Read in the workspace
Your CA opens it beside the checklist item it answers. There is no download for that role.
Written to the audit trail
Who opened which document, and when. The record is yours to read.
What it replaces
Most MSMEs run diligence on WhatsApp, email and a folder called Final_v3. That works until an investor or a bank asks, and then it costs weeks.
Without a workspace
- Files spread across email, WhatsApp and three drives
- Nobody can say what percentage is actually done
- Your CA asks again for documents you already sent
- Gaps surface during diligence instead of before it
- No record of who opened which document, or when

Written for Indian filings, not translated from an American template
Every item names the actual form, the portal it comes from and the authority that wants it. Your CA does not have to work out what a foreign checklist meant by “corporate records”.

Six of the areas covered. Every item says which document, for which period, and where it comes from.
Who uses it
MSME founders
You are raising money, applying for a loan, or thinking about selling. You want to know what will be asked for, and fix the gaps in your own time rather than under a deadline.
LiveCA and CS professionals
Your client invites you in. You review the evidence in place, raise a query against the exact item, and clear it when it is right. No back and forth over email attachments.
LiveInvestors and lenders
Read-only access to a room that has already been checked, with the history of how it got there.
In build
Free to check. Early access for the workspace.
You do not need a deal in progress. Most companies start in the quiet months, so that when an investor, a buyer or a bank does turn up, there is nothing left to fix. We are taking on the first companies one at a time.

Questions we get asked
What is DiligenceReady, in one line?
It is a workspace that lists every document an investor, buyer or lender will ask an Indian MSME for, tracks which ones you have, and lets your own CA or CS review and clear them before the deal starts.
Do you hold our documents?
No. Files are written to your company's own Google Drive, into folders this app creates, under a permission that cannot reach the rest of your account. We do not keep a copy. If you disconnect, the documents stay with you.
Who can see what we upload?
Only people you invite to that specific deal. There is no shared pool, no default access, and a reviewer invited by one company cannot see anything belonging to another. We do not open your documents and we do not share them with anyone.
Can the CA we invite download our files?
No. An invited reviewer reads the document inside the app. There is no download route for that role, and every time a document is opened it is recorded against their name.
We already have a CA. Does that work?
That is exactly the intended path. You invite the professional you already trust by email. They create an account and see only the deal you invited them to. We do not assign anyone to you.
Is the readiness check really free?
Yes, and it needs no account and no documents. You answer a short set of questions and get a score with the gaps named. Create a free account after that and you will see the first items of your own checklist. The check stays free.
What does the workspace cost?
We are not publishing a price yet. The workspace is in early access and we are taking on companies one at a time, so we would rather talk to you, understand the shape of your company, and tell you a figure that is right for it. Write to us and you will get an answer, not a waitlist.
What file types can be reviewed?
PDF and images open directly. Word and Excel files are converted to a readable preview on the server, so your reviewer does not need the original software to read them.
