Due Diligence processes in HubConnect

Overview of the process

The Due Diligence process with Hub88 involves collaboration between the Brand and our legal counsel. The Brand will receive a notification email from Hub88 to initiate the process in their HubConnect Operator Zone.

You can start directly from email or to navigate to the Due Diligence tab in the left-side menu and select the entry option with the status "Pending." Once you begin filling out the information, the status will change to "In Progress." After completing the form, submit it for Hub88's legal counsel review by clicking the "Finish and Submit" button, at which point the status will change to "Submitted." You will receive a confirmation email indicating that your submission was successful. During the review phase, you will not be able to modify the submitted information.

If your documents are approved, the due diligence process will be marked as "Approved" for your legal entity. If corrections are needed, the status will change to "Changes Requested." You will then be able to edit the form and view any missing data, along with comments from legal counsel.

In both scenarios, you will be notified via email about the outcome of the review.
