Bespoke Solutions To International Due Diligence
Research Associates has provided bespoke and structured professional solutions to due diligence since 1977, minimising risk for our clients and allowing them to make better-informed decisions. Our background checks are comprehensive and discreet – we ensure that the subject under investigation remains entirely unaware of the process throughout investigations.
These checks are an easy, no-fuss way to bring peace of mind and allow a sense of security in both personal and professional dealings. Our services are entirely legal and provide concerned parties with a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s or company’s historic status. This gives perspective and allows for informed decisions as to whether to remain personally or professionally involved with a person or entity. All information is obtained from qualified contacts, open-source intelligence (OSInt) collected from the public domain, in some cases, limited observation and other wholly legal sources.
When engaging in partnerships or significant investments, due diligence services are crucial to ensure that you are making informed decisions. Our due diligence investigation services offer comprehensive investigative due diligence that covers all aspects of a company’s operations. This includes assessing a potential business partner, examining the supply chain, and conducting private inquiries into key stakeholders. Operational due diligence is an essential part of the process, as it helps identify specific issues that could lead to reputational damage or financial fraud. With the help of an experienced investigator, you can protect your interests, make informed decisions, and safeguard your company’s reputation, whether you are dealing with other companies, organisations, or individual investors.
Research Associates’ background check services vary according to specific requirements. They are carried out by qualified professionals with decades of experience using cutting-edge technology, ensuring our checks are comprehensive, discreet, and time-efficient.

Due Diligence Investigations
Due diligence investigations are a critical step in the process of making informed business decisions, particularly when dealing with potential business partners, joint ventures, or significant transactions like mergers and acquisitions. A thorough due diligence investigation involves a deep dive into financial records, public records, and proprietary databases to uncover any hidden liabilities, financial problems, or other potential risks that could affect the success of the deal.
At Research Associates, our diligence investigation services cover every aspect of the due diligence process, from financial due diligence and legal due diligence to operational and environmental due diligence. Our experienced investigators and forensic accountants conduct thorough due diligence investigations, ensuring that all relevant details are uncovered, providing you with actionable intelligence. Such an investigation is essential for identifying potential risks and ensuring that your business decisions are sound. Whether you are evaluating third-party vendors, conducting site visits, or assessing compliance with legal issues, our diligence research will provide the insight you need to protect your reputation and make informed decisions.
