Company Due Diligence report
A Company Due Diligence report validates a legal entity against registries, traces its officers, owners and related companies, screens each of them, and checks whether the business operates the way it claims. The result is a risk assessment with red flags, contradictions and open questions, and the evidence behind each one.

Questions it answers
Who controls this company, what is it connected to, and what in the public record should change our decision?
- Is this entity what it says it is, and where is it registered?
- Who are the directors, officers and owners, and what else do they control?
- Are the company or its people sanctioned, politically exposed or in adverse media?
- Is there litigation, insolvency or regulatory action on record?
- Does the company's digital footprint match the business it claims to run?
Scope

- Directors, officers and company secretaries
- Ownership and UBO indicators where registries and filings publish them
- Related companies and counterparties named on public footprints

- Litigation and insolvency records where available
- Adverse media
- Operational legitimacy: hiring activity, published company data, web presence
