Second, the main focus of financial due diligence work
1. Equity problem: Small and medium-sized high-tech enterprises usually have single equity, small equity scale and unsatisfactory equity structure.
2. Asset problem: small assets, unreasonable asset structure, few tangible assets, many intangible assets and insufficient current assets. Also known as "light assets".
