We investigate companies, individuals, and digital infrastructure. You receive a professional intelligence report — verified, source-cited, and ready to act on.
Due diligence before a deal. Background checks before a hire. Domain intelligence when something doesn't add up. We handle it quietly and deliver clarity.
Request an InvestigationEvery engagement begins with a simple question: what do you need to know, and why does it matter?
Our analysts investigate using proprietary intelligence systems that cross-reference government registries, open-source databases, and specialist data across multiple jurisdictions. You never see the technology. You see the answer — structured, verified, and ready for the decision it informs.
Before you enter a partnership, sign a contract, or invest capital — know exactly who sits on the other side. We verify company registrations against UK and US government databases, screen every director and officer against international sanctions and politically exposed persons lists, and trace domain ownership networks to reveal corporate structures that aren't always visible on the surface.
If a company claims to be legitimate, we check. If they claim to be established, we verify the history. If they have subsidiaries, linked entities, or offshore structures — we find them.
People and organisations leave traces — corporate directorships, public filings, digital footprints, regulatory records. Individually, each trace means little. Together, they reveal a pattern: who someone is, what they've done, and what they haven't told you.
We build that pattern. Whether you're evaluating a candidate for a senior role, vetting a business partner before a transaction, or assessing a counterparty in a sensitive matter — we deliver the picture they won't volunteer. Directorship chains, sanctions exposure, public record inconsistencies, and digital presence — all cross-referenced and risk-scored.
A domain name is a thread. Pull it carefully, and you discover who controls the infrastructure, what else it connects to, what's been hidden, and what's changed over time. This is where digital investigations begin — and where most surface-level checks stop too early.
We go deeper. WHOIS registration chains reveal ownership history. DNS configurations expose the real hosting infrastructure. SSL certificate transparency logs show every certificate ever issued for a domain. Ownership network mapping discovers other domains controlled by the same entity — even when they've tried to separate them. And infrastructure analysis reveals hidden iframes, external scripts, and third-party connections that tell you what a website actually does behind its public face.
Regulatory obligations don't ask for opinions — they demand documented evidence. When your compliance team needs enhanced due diligence on a client, a supplier, or a transaction counterparty, we produce reports structured for exactly that purpose.
Multi-jurisdictional sanctions screening against OFAC, EU, UK, and UN consolidated lists. Politically exposed persons checks. Corporate registry verification across multiple countries. The output is formatted for your compliance files, your auditors, and if necessary, your regulator — with clear source citations and a transparent methodology section so the work stands up to scrutiny.
Retainer arrangements available for firms running regular investigations.
Email us the subject — a company, person, or domain. Tell us what you need to know and what decision it informs.
We confirm scope, package, and timeline within a few hours. No ambiguity about what you'll receive or what it costs.
Our analysts run the investigation across government registries, open sources, and specialist intelligence databases.
You receive a structured intelligence report — risk-scored, source-cited, with findings verified across multiple sources.
Most intelligence firms rely on manual research alone. We built proprietary investigation technology that automates collection and cross-referencing across dozens of sources — then our analysts verify, contextualise, and assess what the data means for your specific situation.
The result is faster turnaround, broader coverage, and findings you can trust.
We don't produce generic database dumps. Each report is tailored to your question. What you need to know determines what we investigate — no more, no less.
Send us the subject and what you need to find out. All communications are confidential from the moment we receive them.
