Due Diligence & Investigations

Investigative due diligence

We catch what background checks miss.

Our clients hire us to investigate the executives and companies on the other side of business-critical transactions. Investigative due diligence goes beyond a basic background check to identify hidden risks.

The background checks you may see online from bulk providers are designed to help make employment decisions, not investment decisions, and can leave you blind to many issues. Investigative due diligence is a higher standard of background investigation that identifies risk factors that can affect the success of your investment.

Representative Engagements

  • Our pre-investment investigation of the C-suite of a major cannabis cultivation company found that the CEO had concealed his history of alleged fraud and ties with organized crime under a prior name.

  • We have completed background investigations on officers and directors of dozens of companies preparing for IPOs. These engagements focus on verifying information regarding the executive’s background and identifying material information that could pose a current or future risk, such as damaging social media activity, signs of financial mismanagement, and regulatory issues.

  • Diligence conducted on a potential distribution partner in Latin America confirmed that the company had represented themselves accurately to our client and gave the client confidence to move forward.
