Unmasking the owner behind a four-layer offshore structure
Private equity
The situation. A client preparing to invest needed to know who ultimately controlled a target company whose ownership ran through several offshore layers.
What we did. We reconstructed the ownership chain from primary registry records across the relevant jurisdictions, identified the individual in ultimate control, and screened the parties for sanctions and adverse media.
The outcome. The client learned the real beneficial owner before committing — and chose to renegotiate the terms.
