Business History

We conduct detailed media and other searches to understand the history of the subject. Our searches often involve looking at the financial history of the subject and their product sales history.

Company Registry

We conduct detailed searches of the company registry in which the entity is registered. This commonly involves reviewing setup documents, directors, secretaries, key staff, shareholdings, ownership, capital, registered locations, details of charges (or other loan instruments).

Financial Status

Conduct detailed media and other searches to understand the history of the subject. Our searches often involve looking at the financial history of the subject and their product sales history.

International Profile

In larger matters, we look to establish a profile of a Company or a person not only in the country in which they are located, but all other countries in which they conduct business, may have had residency or may have worked for a period of time. Looking at their current domicile is not sufficient in most complex cases.

Investments

We conduct detailed analysis of corporate records to locate ‘sister’ companies, and other related companies in which the subject has shareholdings. Where necessary these holdings are tracked overseas and in other jurisdictions.

Relationships

We conduct detailed searches of the Subject to their relationships to governments, government officials and state owned entities. Either as previous employees, suppliers or through political processes. Tracking Subjects and their Principals to connections with Government is essential in Corruption led compliance efforts.

Reputational Testing

We conduct detailed reputational testing of the Subject. This involves working our network to test whether the Subject and its Principals have been involved in illegal conduct, have had integrity issues raised against them. This is true ‘intelligence’ and is often completely overlooked by ‘paper due diligence’ firms. Good reputational checks are essential.

Site Visits

There is no better intelligence gathering tool as a site visit. Attending the offices of the subject and looking at the surroundings is essential. Do they have an office? How many people? Is it as advertised? Is it in a low end building? Is manufacturing present? Is it a shared office? How many staff are present? Is the quality of the surrounding similar to that expected? Do phone numbers work? All this information goes towards establishing a picture of the Subject.
