INDIVIDUAL / CORPORATE PROFILES

If you are involved with business formations, acquisitions, or mergers, we will conduct "due diligence" investigations of the individuals and business entities, including quasi-governmental entities that are, or may be, parties to your particular matter. 

• Legal name and location
• Legal structure and jurisdiction of any business entity
• Identify officers, agents and other key personnel
• Identify affiliated people and business entities
• Identify real and personal assets
• Identify judgments, liens, civil litigation and cirminal records associated with all people and business entities
• Research pertinent media articles, including Internet sites

Our initial research is conducted via online public and proprietary data sources as well via the offices of public agencies.  We work closely with you to co-ordinate and direct the research that we conduct in order to focus our attention and your resources on those areas of most importance to you. We are scrupulous in assuring that we abide by all federal and other laws regarding privacy, investigative methods and permissible access to information.

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS / DUE DILIGENCE

Are you considering a new venture?  Planning a merger or consolidation?  Purchasing an established business?  Considering a new key employee or board member?  Are you considering joining a company as a key employee or board member?  

Before you make the deal,  it is imperative that you have a full understanding of the people and businesses that are new to you.  Due diligence requires more extensive research than a standard individual or business profile.  We resarch and investigate key personnel, employees, business associates and other people and businesses as you may direct.  Due diligence investigations go beyond researching standard public and proprietary data sources.  When authorized or permitted by law, including under the FFCRA and GLB, we access and provide a copy of an individual's consumer credti report.  We research records on file with specific government agencies to confirm real and personal assets, including copyrights, trademarks and patents.  We confirm information provided on resumes and CV's, including professional licenses, prior employment and education history.  We interview business associates, colleagues, friends, neighbors and other witnesses as appropriate.

For any business where officers, stockholders, members, partners or key employees are embroiled  in an unhealthy, acrimonious relationship, where business dissolution, resignations or personnel loss may be possible, we can help.
