Integrity due diligence on the people and structure behind a target company, running alongside financial and legal due diligence before a deal closes.
Standard M&A due diligence, financial audit, legal review, commercial assessment, answers whether a target company's numbers and contracts are sound. It is not built to answer a different set of questions: whether founders or key executives have undisclosed prior insolvencies, whether beneficial ownership runs through structures that were not fully disclosed, whether related-party transactions have been fully surfaced, or whether adverse media exists that could affect the value or reputation of the business post-acquisition.
An integrity intelligence report on the target company's leadership, ownership structure and key relationships, run alongside your financial and legal workstreams and timed to your transaction deadline, with findings that flag issues requiring further legal or commercial attention before signing.
Background checks on founders, directors and key executives
Beneficial ownership traced through the full holding structure
Related-party transactions not fully disclosed in the data room
Adverse media and litigation history across all relevant jurisdictions
Corporate registry analysis, litigation and insolvency record searches, adverse media screening, and cross-referencing of data room disclosures against independent public sources, run in parallel with your existing due diligence workstreams and coordinated to your transaction timetable, with every finding verified by a named analyst.
It runs in parallel, not in sequence, and is scoped specifically to avoid duplicating what your accountants and lawyers are already covering. We coordinate directly with your deal team on timing.
Yes. Turnaround is scoped to your transaction timetable from the outset, and interim findings can be provided if a material issue needs to reach your deal team before the full report is complete.
You are notified immediately, not held for the final report. Material findings are flagged as soon as they are confirmed so your legal team can address them before signing, not after.
Coverage extends to overseas subsidiaries and connected entities where they are material to the transaction, confirmed as part of scoping so jurisdictional gaps are identified before, not after, the deal closes.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
