Business Intelligence Services

In a global business environment, your partner information is more vital than ever. Investigative Due Diligence (DD) is a critical part of the evaluation process before any major transaction.

Investigative Due Diligence is particularly cost-effective when undertaken in the early stages of a project, as it will identify issues to be addressed before a commitment to invest considerable financial expenditure and management resources is made.

DD services involve the collection, collation and analysis of information from a wide variety of sources. It starts with extensive data mining of publicly available material, online resources, media, public records, and corporate filings, by in-house research analysts.

Issues such as the target's reputation, history, business ethics, and individual officers' integrity, business acumen and their real influence in their local environments can be a key to a successful deal. At the conclusion of these enquiries, we provide a detailed report.
