What is a Due Diligence check?  

A due diligence check is a thorough investigation or audit of a Company, project or investment. It involves examining various aspects of the subject to ensure everything is in order and to identify any potential risks or issues before finalising a purchase of a service or asset.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Businesses conduct due diligence checks to ensure that they have all the necessary facts on the table before making a commercial decision, including financial performance, solvency, Director history, legal history, and feedback from former clients.

By doing so, individuals and businesses can get answers to their questions and make informed decisions that can protect their financial records, business reputation and limit potential damages.

Due Diligence Checks

Verify the professional history, qualifications, and personal background of potential partners to uncover any discrepancies.

Conflict of interest issues can lead to unfair practices, favoritism, corruption, and legal liabilities. Early detection protects your business from hidden agendas, reputational harm, and financial risk.

Reputation Checks

Our Reputational Checks investigate a company's or individual's public image, industry standing, media coverage, legal history, and online footprint to identify potential red flags.

We monitor:

  • Negative media exposure
  • Legal disputes and regulatory issues
