http://www.pubarticles.com/article-bradley-associates-due-diligence-1301039755.html

Before anyone at Bradley Associates can make recommendations to our clients, we need to carry out our due diligence on the components of prospective portfolios.
Bradley Associates cannot recommend a particular stock, corporate bond or IPO without first assessing the security at the deepest possible level.
Due diligence is absolutely vital to making a sound investment. Due diligence carried out by Bradley Associates verifies any business opportunities that survives our initial screening stage. For capital investments, as few as 10-15% of proposals presented to Bradley Associates make it past our initial screening stage to the full due-diligence process, and only 10% of those will go on to receive funding.
