Market Entry, Expansion & Investments
Enter New Ventures with Confidence and Clarity
Entering into business partnerships with individuals or organizations without fully knowing the background and nature of their past and present business dealings, significantly increases the likelihood of legal disputes and losses.
Emerging market business environments feature a high level of dynamism. Last year’s balance sheets, profit and loss statements and other economic indicators are often of lower informational value than in Western jurisdictions. Even financially strong businesses can be vulnerable to a number of specific local threats that might turn a reliable business partner into an insolvency case within weeks.
We assist you in gaining a comprehensive understanding of your investment targets, equipping you to anticipate future challenges and identify local threats that could potentially turn stable partners into insolvency risks. By evaluating a variety of factors such as lawsuits, media reports, management changes, public contracts, and tax issues, our real-time risk monitoring service offers timely updates on the risk profiles of your clients, partners, and suppliers.
