What is Due Diligence?
The integrity of an individual or a company is a matter of concern when you are considering a trade, an investment, a merger or acquisition.
Prior to establishing ties with another business, it is important to have in-depth knowledge about the background information and financial
status of the company, as well as those of its related parties. This can be done through due diligence on the target individual or company
backgrounds.

Pre-Merger/Acquisition Check
By learning more about your Subject Company beforehand through this service, you can make sound decision and avoid pitfalls while going through the merger / acquisition process, which requires a relatively comprehensive checking covering various aspects of evaluation including on-field investigation. For looking into any concerning issues of the Subject Company, our due diligence process covers the checking on its records in areas of litigation, directorship, media, global compliance, trademark / patent / design registry, domain name, tax status and more for an all-rounded search result.
Anti-Fraudulence Company Check
This service allows you to be more aware of the background of your potential business partner as a better gauge of their trustworthiness. Compared to other more extensive Due Diligence services, it focuses on the fundamental elements that reflect the level of credibility and integrity of a company notably its litigation records, misconduct / disciplinary issues, global compliance and media checking, combined with on-field investigation for a more in-depth checking.
New Venture Preparation
Whether you are interested in investing in a new market or company, or about to be engaged in a new project, you might find it useful to have some reasonable investigation in advance in certain related companies or business entities before making the big decision. With on-field investigation, the priorities of this service are placed on checking the reputation of the Subject Company, which helps evaluate the market acceptance of the related products or services the company provides as well as any issues involved in the legal sector, media, trademark / patent / design registry, global compliance and domain name.
Pre-IPO Due Diligence
By letting us review your company’s basic information and background, you can then offer more confidence-inspiring data to be presented to the public, which will be conducive to your goal of attracting more potential investors in the future and meet the expectation of the regulators, with the help of our report to check on the reliability of your company’s records in litigation, tax status and other crucial areas.
Comprehensive Individual Check
As a relatively comprehensive type of Due Diligence on a Subject Individual, this service provides you with a more general understanding of the Subject Individual with regards to his / her credibility. It provides you with a bigger picture when it comes to evaluating the Subject Individual’s overall trustworthiness including areas in litigation, directorship history, bankruptcy issue, tax status, shareholding record, media behaviours, global compliance and more, aided by on-field investigation as well.
Individual Reputation Check
Placing emphasis on the Subject Individual’s behavioral patterns online and offline, this service can give you more insights with items specifically designed for checking on whether the Subject Individual has had any undesirable records with the help of on-field investigation. In this service, resources and efforts are allocated in any legal issues, misconduct / disciplinary concerns, or bankruptcy history that the Subject Individual might have been involved in, plus the global compliance and media checking.
