Intelligence

Intelligence (systematic information gathering and analysis) plays a central role in the prevention of financial losses in business.

Knowing the background of their business partners, suppliers, and investment targets allows managers to make informed decisions and avoid trouble later. We systematically collect information for our clients from all around the world, analyze it with a view to the situation at hand, and identify opportunities and risks.

  • BACKGROUND CHECKS / DUE DILIGENCE / BUSINESS PARTNER SCREENINGS
    Background checks on business partners worldwide; objective and fact-based. We answer our clients' specific lists of questions, so that planned transactions can proceed without any subsequent surprises.

 

  • PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENINGS
    Verification of applicants' backgrounds. Possible falsehoods are filtered out and candidates are checked for integrity and security aspects. We also help to select trustworthy applicants in highly sensitive business areas.

 

  • LINK ANALYSIS
    Transparency on the connections between business partners and other companies and individuals worldwide helps to rule out conflicts of interest and financial damages. When doing business abroad, the disclosure of links provides essential clarity and prevents avoidable complications or damages.

 

  • ESPIONAGE PENETRATION TESTS
    How far could spies get inside your company, whether physically or digitally? How secure would your information be from intruders? We plan and execute an espionage operation like real perpetrators would. Thus, we uncover security gaps and provide recommendations on how to close them.

Business Development

Background knowledge also plays a central role in business development. The central question we ask our customers is: What is preventing you from doing more business? If the answer has something to do with information gathering, intelligence is the solution.

With targeted information, we provide our clients with hard-to-find business opportunities, potential partners and worthwhile takeover targets. In doing so, we are guided by the previously defined criteria of our clients. We also focus on potential obstacles and develop solutions to overcome them.

 

  • IDENTIFICATION OF COMPANY TAKEOVER TARGETS (M&A)
    When companies reach their limits in identifying targets with their own resources, we can provide targeted help with international information procurement.

 

  • SEARCH FOR BUYERS OF COMPANY SPIN-OFFS
    The search for buyers of a company spin-off can also be difficult at times. We find potential buyers at home or abroad based on pre-selected criteria.

 

  • LOCATING LOST SHAREHOLDERS
    When companies have free float shareholders and merge with other entities, it is a challenge to send the takeover offer to all shareholders. We locate the so-called lost shareholders and help our clients to make contact. Banks also sometimes have clients who are difficult to contact, whether they are dormant accounts or relationships that need to be terminated for compliance reasons.

 

  • UTILIZATION ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES AND PORTS BASED ON SATELLITE IMAGES
    In planned deals, a key question may be how much business activity is really taking place at a particular location. By analyzing satellite images over extended periods of time, we determine what is fact – and what is fiction.

 

  • ANALYSIS OF INTERESTS OF BUSINESS PARTNERS, COMPETITORS, AND AUTHORITIES
    Business partners, competitors, or government authorities can play a role in some major transactions, as they can wave deals through or block them. In such scenarios, it may be important to find out the interests of the parties involved and find solutions so that the deal can still go forward.
