Business background investigations

Description

Nowadays, no successful business can do without having the right information at the right time. We live in an information society where the problem is not the lack and inaccessibility of information, but rather its quality and credibility. Important decisions are often made without verifying information and distinguishing whether it is relevant or not. Employees are often hired without their previous employments being screened. Important projects are implemented by non-transparent firms. Key customers are often unknown individuals and entities. The large number of litigations and substantial financial losses suffered by claimant companies show that obtaining and checking out information on third parties is essential.

Our procedures

Business background investigation involves searching, analyzing and thoroughly examining information on selected companies and individuals. These may include job candidates at your company, the top management and owners of your business partners, your competitors, contractors, customers and potential acquisition targets.

Our forte is reviewing large numbers of sources, identifying key data, revealing connections within the data, and using them to uncover undisclosed information.

The results of our investigation are summarized in a written investigation report including:

• Executive summary of findings
• SWOT analysis of key findings (strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats)
• Identification of high-risk relationships and links among entities
• Analysis of financial statements and data on the entity
• Detailed findings

The key information investigated includes marketing, business and registration data, financial data, information on the financial standing and credibility of the entity, information on the entity’s assets, reputation and presentation in media, and on its criminal history and political links.
