Due Diligence

Due Diligence is the process of inquiry undertaken on behalf of our clients into the corporate profile, integrity and business standards of their current or prospective partners in order to identify the risks to both the client’s investment and their reputation. This process enables our clients to avoid or mitigate potential risks, particularly when doing business in emerging markets or unfamiliar environments.

CONTRA Risk-Consulting provides its clients with a greater level of transparency by producing reports on their potential business partners, analysis of their business situation, or conducting research into effective ways of doing business in a specific location.

Core areas of expertise:

• Nationwide civil and criminal record searches

• Business and personal financial asset research

• Newspaper archives searches

• Overt and/or covert interviews with former colleagues and subordinates

• Corporate records and databases research

We perform extensive due diligence for clients who need comprehensive background information about their new business relationships and prospective partners in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, venture capital investments, franchises and large loan transactions.

Using global resources, CONTRA conducts in-depth research to provide information about the business history, resources, credentials and reputation of parties in impending transactions and to verify all the data that has been provided by the parties.
