Relevant facts in context
Important legal, commercial, financial and personal decisions sometimes require more than a basic identity check. Structured background intelligence can help establish relevant facts, identify connections and highlight matters that may require further consideration.
Findings must be assessed in context. A risk indicator is not proof of wrongdoing, and the absence of an identified concern does not guarantee that no risk exists.
Proportionate research scope
The scope of research is agreed before work begins and depends on the purpose of the instruction, the information available and what can lawfully and proportionately be examined.
Relevant identity, address-history and residency information.
Electoral roll and other lawful residency indicators where available.
Company directorships, business interests and relevant corporate connections.
Historical and dissolved company activity where relevant.
Recorded County Court Judgments and insolvency indicators where lawfully available.
Relevant online footprint and open-source intelligence.
Linked individuals or associated entities where relevant and identifiable.
Lawfully obtainable financial-risk indicators where appropriate.
