We require: company name and registration details, key contact persons, nature of transaction (buying/selling, product type, volumes), and any existing documentation (company profile, registration certificates). For sellers, we also need production/supply capacity details.
Our comprehensive report includes: executive summary with risk rating, corporate verification results, financial assessment, operational capacity evaluation, compliance and license status, references and track record, red flags or concerns identified, and our recommendation (proceed, proceed with caution, or do not proceed).
Yes, we have network partners and resources to verify companies globally. However, verification in certain jurisdictions with limited public records may have limitations. We're transparent about what we can and cannot verify in each market.
