Reliable service provided by experienced international investigators Global Risk Reports

Worldwide Company & Country Risk

Research Associates has provided tailored confidential company reports and country risk reports since 1977. In addition, research Associates offers comprehensive international company reports with immediate delivery. Our service is well-thought-out, streamlined and designed to be bespoke according to need. It is aimed at clients who swiftly require a suitable and accurate report on their desktop.

Bespoke Investigation and Due Diligence

Depending on the circumstance and perceived level of risk, Research Associates may also discuss basic investigative requirements, for example, matching the contact details held by our client with those of the legitimate subject company or conducting a more in-depth criminality search (legally sourced from the public domain). We may also instigate other bespoke investigations to allow clients to gain competitive intelligence on any business entity.

All Research Associates intelligence tasks are undertaken by experienced private investigators and allied researchers/reputable databases, carried out with the utmost discretion, ensuring that our identities and existence are withheld, and that information is passed directly to clients securely.

Commissioned Business & Country Risk Reports

The best way to commission a report is to contact Research Associates and ask for our due diligence department. A case manager will indicate whether the relevant country has filing requirements, which types of companies are required (or are not required) to file, whether the report will provide a risk indicator or a financial strength indicator, whether the company has been found and the cost of a relevant company report and, where required, a detailed country risk report, as well as international criminality reports accessed via Open Source Intelligence (OSInt) research, accessing multiple access streams of intelligence.
