Company Intelligence
A connected view of the company behind the decision.
Know who and what you are relying on before you commit time, capital or reputation.
An assessment of a company or counterparty tied to a live or prospective transaction or professional commitment: ownership and control, leadership, commercial position, and any material structural, regulatory or reputational exposure.

What It Examines
The company, its people and the structure around it.
Depending on scope, the assessment connects evidence across six areas, so ownership, people and regulatory facts are read together rather than in separate reports.
Corporate identity and structure
Registration, corporate history, related entities and the structure the company operates through.
People and governance
Directors, officers, beneficial owners, governance arrangements and connected individuals.
Ownership and control
Beneficial ownership, control, connected entities and relevant structural relationships.
Regulatory and legal profile
Licensing, regulatory status, sanctions, enforcement, litigation and insolvency matters.
Commercial context
Financial and commercial representations, dependencies and counterparties.
Jurisdictional factors
Political, country, public-sector and reputational factors relevant to the matter.
Where It Is Used
Before reliance, commitment or deeper diligence.
Company Intelligence is used where reliance on a company or counterparty needs a connected, evidence-backed basis.
- 01
Early transaction screening
Establish whether material exposure warrants deeper diligence before further resources are committed.
- 02
Counterparty review
Assess the company, its principals and connected parties before a commercial or financial commitment.
- 03
Mandate acceptance
Understand who and what an engagement would involve before the firm accepts it.
- 04
Ownership and control analysis
Establish who ultimately owns and controls the company, and where the evidence is inconsistent.
- 05
Pre-commitment assessment
Test the evidentiary record around a defined commitment before it is made.
- 06
Diligence prioritisation
Identify where legal, financial, regulatory or other specialist diligence may need to go deeper.
