Corporate Due Diligence
Before the contract is signed, we use the records to establish who is actually behind the entity you're dealing with and what history comes along with them.
Scope
- Entity registration, standing, and history across states
- Officers, directors, members, and registered agents
- Beneficial ownership as far as the record permits
- Affiliated, predecessor, and successor entities
- Civil litigation history as plaintiff and defendant
- Judgments, tax liens, and UCC secured filings
- Bankruptcy and receivership history
- Regulatory actions and professional discipline
- Real property holdings and encumbrances
- Adverse media and public statements
- Principal background and prior business failures
- Sanctions and watchlist screening
What it's for
- Before you contract. Confirm the counterparty is a real, standing entity with the assets and history it claims.
- Before you extend credit. Check the lien position and litigation exposure, and find out whether the principals have walked away from obligations before.
- Vendor and supplier onboarding. Verify ownership and identify conflicts, related parties, and undisclosed affiliations.
- Investment and acquisition diligence. Independent verification alongside financial and legal diligence.
- Internal investigations. Relationship mapping where a conflict of interest or self-dealing is suspected.
Not for FCRA-regulated decisions
Due diligence reports are investigative work product. They are not consumer reports and may not be used to evaluate an individual for employment, credit, insurance, or housing. If you need a background check for a hiring decision, you need a consumer reporting agency, and we will tell you that and decline the assignment.
