Corporate Intelligence & Business Investigations
Examine corporate relationships, business activities, ownership structures and commercial affiliations.
What this service covers
Develop a clearer understanding of a company’s activities, relationships, structure and commercial environment. Research may examine registrations, corporate networks, associated entities, management connections, trading activities, public representations and relevant market information.
How we conduct this check
Each step is visible to you in the client portal, from scoping to delivery.
Set the questions
We agree the specific questions: structure, relationships, activities, market position or something else.
Map the entity
Registrations, related companies, officers and shareholders are mapped to show how the business is organized.
Research activities
Trading activity, public statements, contracts, media and market information are examined.
Connect and verify
Relationships are tested against documentary evidence before they are reported as connections.
Deliver intelligence
A report with relationship maps, findings and confidence levels, ready for your decision.
Our methodology
Corporate intelligence goes beyond a profile. We map how a business is structured and connected, then test what it says about itself against independent records and reporting.
Connections are only presented as such when supported by documents; inferences are labelled as analysis, so you always know the strength of each conclusion.
How we help you conduct the check
Relationship mapping
See how companies, officers and shareholders connect, with the evidence for each link.
Questions, not checklists
Research is built around what you need to understand.
Confidence levels
Findings and analysis are clearly distinguished.
Multi-jurisdiction reach
Research across countries through accessible records and vetted partners.
Frequently asked questions
How is corporate intelligence different from due diligence?
Due diligence typically follows a defined set of checks. Corporate intelligence is question-led and explores structure, relationships and activities in more depth.
Can you research private companies?
Yes. The available detail depends on what the jurisdiction requires companies to file and what is otherwise lawfully accessible.
Do you provide relationship charts?
Where helpful, reports include a relationship map showing documented connections and their sources.
