We conduct thorough due diligence investigations, including:

• Verification of company addresses, certificates of incorporation, and licenses

Before engaging in any business relationship, it's crucial to confirm that a company is legally registered and operates from a legitimate physical location. This step involves checking official documents such as the certificate of incorporation (which proves the company's legal existence) and business licenses (ensuring they have the necessary approvals to operate in their industry). Verifying the company’s address also helps prevent fraud, as shell companies or fraudulent entities often lack a genuine operational base

• Verification of tax clearance certificates and audited financial

A company’s financial health and compliance with tax laws are key indicators of its reliability. By reviewing tax clearance certificates, we ensure the business is up-to-date with its tax obligations and hasn’t been flagged for non-compliance. Additionally, analyzing audited financial statements provides insight into the company’s profitability, debt levels, and overall financial stability. This helps assess whether the company is a viable and trustworthy partner.

• Criminal background checks on company directors

The individuals leading a company play a major role in its ethical and legal standing. Conducting criminal background checks on directors helps uncover any past involvement in fraud, corruption, or other illegal activities. This step is essential for mitigating risks, as a history of misconduct by key executives could indicate potential future issues, such as embezzlement or regulatory violations.

• Business history analysis

Understanding a company’s past performance, reputation, and operational track record is vital. This involves reviewing its market presence, previous partnerships, litigation history, and any past bankruptcies or scandals. A company with a stable history and positive industry standing is more likely to be a dependable partner, while one with a pattern of disputes or failures may pose higher risks.

By conducting these checks, businesses can:

• Avoid fraud and scams by confirming legitimacy.
• Ensure compliance with legal and financial regulations.
• Assess financial stability before entering contracts.
• Mitigate reputational risks by avoiding associations with unethical entities.
• Make informed decisions based on verified facts rather than assumptions.
