The situation
A profile, presentation or referral may omit relevant connections, past roles and conflicts of interest. Reliance on information provided by the other party can leave material questions unanswered.
Service
Assess the other partybefore you commit.
Before an important contract, investment or partnership, we examine people and companies: business history, connections, conflicts of interest and discrepancies in their claims. The assessment serves a specific business decision.
When to involve us
- A decision about a partner, supplier, investor or representative is difficult to reverse.
- Official information appears consistent but incomplete.
- Connections may be missing from the material provided.
- The relationship would give access to information, people or resources.
What we examine
The scope follows the question and the material available.
- Identity and name variants
- Business history and ownership structure
- Key people and previous roles
- Ownership, personal and commercial connections
- Conflicts of interest and reputation in the business environment
- Differences between claims and independently established information
How we work
Set the scope
We agree the decision the research supports and the appropriate depth of examination.
Record claims
Information provided by the other party becomes material for comparison.
Check sources
We use registers, open sources and other lawfully available information where the matter requires it.
Explain discrepancies
We identify undisclosed roles, connections and inconsistencies and assess their relevance.
What you receive
An assessment of the other party in relation to the proposed relationship, including findings, connections and risks not apparent from its own account.
The analysis cannot guarantee that every risk will be found or that a partner will act reliably in future. It does not replace legal, tax or financial transaction due diligence.
We agree the form of the deliverable and the scope of recommendations before work begins. The outcome includes limitations and questions that remain unresolved.
