Due Diligence
Before an investment, a merger or a senior appointment — who the counterparty actually is, and what the deck left out.
Financial due diligence checks the numbers. It does not check whether the CEO was party to proceedings settled confidentially in Singapore, or whether the lead investor is the same individual behind two collapsed companies.
We investigate people and entities: litigation history across jurisdictions, regulatory record, sanctions exposure, beneficial ownership, local-language press, and reputation with those who dealt with them before.
The report also states what was **not** found, and why. "No adverse findings" in a jurisdiction without a public registry is not the same finding as "no adverse findings" in Delaware, and the reader needs to be able to tell them apart.
What you get
Background investigation of directors, controllers and officers
Litigation and regulatory history across jurisdictions
Sanctions, PEP and enforcement-list screening
Beneficial ownership behind layered entity chains
Press and media review in the original language
Report graded by severity, stating what was checked and clear
How it runs
Scope
Exactly what is checked and in which countries. An undefined scope produces a report that answers nothing.
Registries
Corporate, judicial, regulatory, sanctions. Source documentation behind every finding.
Sources
Who worked with them, who sued them, and what the local press wrote.
Grade
Finding against risk. Not every old case is a red flag, and no finding is not a clearance.
