Limited Corporate Due Diligence Investigation (LCDD)

LCDD is designed for companies that wish to verify the background of potential suppliers, subcontractors or other general business associates where the financial relationship is limited, and there is little or no impact on your company's direct operation. This is a basic corporate package that provides you with the firm's history, general credit and business worthiness, plus information relative to outstanding liens, levies, judgments or lawsuits. For those needing a solution which has to be USA Patriot Act compliant, we also investigate specialized governmental repositories for “Specially Designated Nationals” (SDN), “Blocked Persons” organizations, corporations, merchant vessels and more.

Comprehensive Corporate Due Diligence Investigation (CCDD)

CCDD is recommended when companies are about to enter into a significant financial relationship such as partnerships, acquisitions, loans, joint ventures or other investments where a new venture or business relationship can affect your firm's financial condition, credit worthiness or impact on the general operation. This investigation provides a complete history of the corporation, an analysis of its financial standing, historical media information concerning the corporation and its officers, bankruptcy records, liens, judgments, lawsuits, and any other civil actions that may impact on the company's ability to meet its production, service or financial commitments. In addition, the investigation will research public records for indications of fraud or other criminal or civil history on the part of the company.

It is also recommended for key individuals involved in potential partnerships, mergers, etc. The CIDD provides a thorough employment history, criminal and civil court record searches, bankruptcy, and other evidence of financial irresponsibility, such as judgments, liens, lawsuits, etc. The investigation also searches for outstanding warrants or history of criminal sexual offenses.
