Do your checks before you commit.
A structured enquiry can help you ask better questions and identify information that needs further review before a major business decision.

- Before sending deposits, advance payments or significant purchase orders
- Before appointing a local representative or cross-border business partner
- Before leasing, buying, investing in or using a business facility or project site

Frequently asked questions
Before you submit a request
Which countries do you cover?+
We consider requests across the African continent and selected markets beyond Africa. Coverage depends on the country, type of check, access to reliable sources and availability of suitable local support. We confirm feasibility before accepting the assignment.
How much does verification cost?+
Fees depend on the country, urgency, depth of checks, number of parties, document requirements and whether field visits or third-party services are needed. We provide the applicable charges and scope for your approval before payment.
What should I submit?+
Share the target name and location, available registration or contact details, the proposed transaction, your questions, relevant documents and any concerns. We will provide a tailored questionnaire and request only information relevant to the agreed assignment.
Does a verification report guarantee that a business is safe?+
No. Due diligence can reduce uncertainty but cannot eliminate all risk or guarantee future conduct, solvency, performance or the authenticity of every statement. Our findings are limited to the agreed scope, available evidence and checks completed.
