Corporate Due Diligence
Know who you're really dealing with before you commit.
- Beneficial ownership (UBO) identification
- Company background & verification
- Counterparty & vendor screening
- Pre-transaction / M&A intelligence
If you’re not sure who you’re really dealing with
Before you sign with a new partner, fund a supplier, or close an acquisition, you need to know who actually stands behind the company — and whether they bring sanctions exposure, undisclosed owners, litigation, or a reputation that becomes yours the moment you commit. Often the risk is real but hard to name: the paperwork looks clean, and you simply can’t tell whether it holds.
This is the service that settles it. We establish who owns and controls the company, whether anyone connected to it is sanctioned or litigious, and what the public record actually says — before your money or your name is on the line.
When clients come to us with this:
- Vetting a new counterparty, supplier, or distributor before a contract.
- Confirming the real owners behind a company, including offshore or layered structures.
- Screening a target before an acquisition or investment.
- Checking a partner whose history doesn’t quite add up.
How we handle it
We map the corporate structure and ownership to beneficial-owner level, screen every identified party against sanctions, PEP, and watchlists, and review litigation, insolvency, and adverse-media exposure across the relevant jurisdictions. Where ownership is deliberately obscured, we reconstruct it from primary records.
You receive a single, sourced report — each finding tied to its origin and date, with established fact kept separate from assessment, built to hold up if it is challenged.
What’s included
- Beneficial ownership (UBO) identification — the real individuals behind the company, through layered and cross-border structures.
- Company background & verification — registration, status, directors, filings, history.
- Counterparty & vendor screening — pre-contract checks on partners, suppliers, clients.
- Pre-transaction / M&A intelligence — a target-company profile before the deal closes.
