Description
Business Intelligence Forewarned Is Forearmed
Due diligence is critical in today’s business environment as regu-
lator, shareholder and public scrutiny is greater than ever. Our
business intelligence offering is designed to provide you with the
necessary information to minimise the risks associated with a
variety of commercial transactions including:
• Mergers, acquisitions or new business opportunities
• Appointment of channel partners
• Procurement and/or pre-approval of contractors
• Creation of joint venture vehicles
• Contract negotiations
Accurate and up-to-date intelligence is a key component in
your decision making process. Our business intelligence service
provides a level of confidence when you are about to embark
on a significant commercial transaction. We work with you to
thoroughly understand your requirements and identify your
key objectives.
Our business intelligence service can help you minimise your
organisation’s risk by helping you conduct the 4th arm of due
diligence - reputational or business intelligence. This due dili-
gence may be in the form of:
Vendor due diligence: Ensure the vendor has accurately repre-
sented themselves and has appropriate policies and procedures
in place to minimise your risk or accountability under relevant
legislation, including the FCPA and UK Bribery Act.
Corporate intelligence: Monitor the activities of competitors
in a lawful and ethical way assisting you to stay ahead of any
industry developments that may impact your business.
Pre-transaction due diligence: Ensure financial, legal and op-
erational due diligence is supported by in-depth analysis of key
stakeholders, including directors, shareholders, senior manage-
ment and key suppliers
Enhanced due diligence: Conduct reputational enquiries of the
principals and directors to identify any adverse information that
may impact the transaction.
Legislative or regulatory compliance: Ensure your ‘Know Your
Customer’ program is sufficient for the environment in which
you operate and that the parties you engage with do not pose
a potential risk to your organisation through their association
with foreign governments or organised crime.
Our experience and expertise in gathering often hard to locate
intelligence both regionally and around the world, gives us an
advantage. Coupled with our resourceful team and an extensive
network, our suite of business intelligence services help clients
to understand cultures, geographies and business environments:
Preliminary research and risk assessments: We conduct an
assessment of risks for you before you embark on the project/
transaction in question.
Public record/corporate register/business license checks:
Using public record searches, we establish whether the company
or individual is properly registered and licensed, and determine
any history of sanctions against them by relevant authorities.
Media searches: We gather intelligence in both English and
local languages and determine the reputation of the company
and/or individuals in their industry as well as the local and
international community.
Business and principal reputational searches: We identify
red flags such as litigation, criminal history, conflict of interest.
Financial and regulatory probity searches: We probe finances
and identify the original source of wealth of the company and
individuals. We check regulatory fitness by checking global
blacklists and local registers for disqualifications or disbarment.
Third party enquiries: We conduct discreet enquiries with both
competitors and suppliers to determine a company’s reputa-
tion in the marketplace. We conduct discreet enquiries with
industry sources, journalists and interested 3rd parties (such
as shareholders) to determine a company’s reputation.
RISQ Group is your trusted partner,
performing a vital role in collecting
the right intelligence for your due
diligence needs.
