In Georgia's open and dynamic market, unseen risks in transactions, partnerships, and high-level appointments can lead to significant financial loss, regulatory penalties, and lasting reputational damage. Our Investigative Due Diligence and Business Intelligence service acts as an essential shield, transforming uncertainty into strategic certainty. We move far beyond automated data retrieval to deliver bespoke, human-led investigations that provide a deep, factual understanding of your commercial counterparts. Every stage of our process is meticulously aligned with Georgian law, particularly the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection, ensuring the intelligence we provide is not only powerful but fully defensible and legally sound.

Our corporate due diligence provides a forensic level of insight into any Georgian entity. We meticulously analyze official records from the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), examining corporate charters, historical changes in ownership, and any registered encumbrances or pledges that could signal financial distress. Our investigation identifies critical red flags such as undisclosed litigation, connections to sanctioned individuals or entities, nominee ownership structures, and inconsistencies between a company's stated operations and its public footprint. This deep-dive analysis provides the clarity needed to proceed with a merger, acquisition, or significant investment with your eyes wide open to all potential risks.

We conduct background vetting on key individuals with a level of rigor that matches the gravity of your decision. For executive screening, our work is carefully structured within the legal framework of the Labour Code of Georgia, always proceeding with the candidate's explicit consent. We verify the entirety of a candidate's professional track record, uncover potential conflicts of interest, and assess their reputation. For Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) purposes, we perform enhanced due diligence that satisfies the stringent requirements of the Law of Georgia on Facilitating the Suppression of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, including comprehensive checks against global sanctions lists and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases.

Strategic business intelligence is the key to gaining a sustainable competitive advantage, and our service is designed to provide it ethically and legally. We synthesize publicly available information to deliver actionable insights into your market landscape. This can include mapping a competitor's operational vulnerabilities, assessing market entry barriers for a new venture, or understanding the network of key business and political influencers within your sector. This intelligence is not obtained through illicit means but through the sophisticated analysis of open-source data, empowering you to anticipate market shifts and outmaneuver competitors based on verified information, not speculation.

Our investigative methodology is what sets us apart and guarantees the quality of our deliverables. The process begins with a detailed consultation to define the scope and legal parameters of the inquiry. Our multi-lingual analysts then proceed with disciplined data collection from a wide array of public and proprietary sources. This raw information is then subjected to rigorous human-led analysis and cross-verification to filter out inaccuracies and establish a factual baseline. The final and most critical stage is a legal review, where our findings are assessed for their real-world implications, ensuring the final report is coherent, accurate, and relevant.

The ultimate value of our service is the synthesis of investigation and law. Any investigator can compile data, but only a legal expert can provide a conclusive opinion on what that data means for your legal obligations, contractual risks, and strategic positioning in Georgia. Our final intelligence report is a legal work product that delivers a clear "so what?"—translating complex findings into specific, actionable recommendations. This fusion of investigative depth and legal acumen provides our clients with an unparalleled level of security and a decisive strategic edge.
