Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between corporate intelligence and background verification?

Background verification confirms factual details about an individual. Corporate intelligence is broader — it assesses business relationships, ownership structures, reputational issues, litigation history, and financial standing of both individuals and organisations.

When is corporate intelligence most valuable?

Before entering major business transactions — acquisitions, joint ventures, large vendor contracts, and senior appointments. Also when concerns arise about an existing relationship or when entering new markets where local knowledge is limited.

Is corporate intelligence gathering legal?

Yes. Our services rely on publicly available records, regulatory databases, court filings, and professional networks. We do not engage in unlawful surveillance or illegal information gathering. All work is conducted within applicable legal and ethical boundaries.

How long does a corporate intelligence report take?

A standard individual background check can be completed in three to five working days. A comprehensive business due diligence report may take two to four weeks depending on research depth and availability of public records.

Can corporate intelligence be used for litigation support?

Yes. Intelligence reports can provide background to support litigation — including locating assets, identifying related parties, and establishing a party's financial standing. Evidence must be gathered and documented in accordance with applicable evidentiary standards.
