FOR INVESTORS WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO BE WRONG

Every week, someone loses money in East Africa because they didn’t look close enough:

– That “clean” property title? Had 3 undisclosed mortgages.
– That mining license? Expired 18 months ago.
– That business partner? Active fraud warrants in 2 countries.

We find what others miss. Before you sign. Before you lose money.

WHY CHOOSE US?

We are good at Answering The Following

DOES THIS COMPANY ACTUALLY EXIST?

Whether the company or individual actually exist OR is it a shell company, fake address, or fraud front?

WE VERIFY:
✓ Registration with government registries (not just Google)
✓ Physical location exists (we visit in person)
✓ Phone numbers and emails are active and legitimate
✓ Company isn’t a shelf corporation or fake entity
✓ Directors/owners are real people (not stolen identities)

WHY IT MATTERS:
1 in 5 “companies” we investigate don’t exist as claimed or are registered to fake/residential addresses.

REAL EXAMPLE:
We investigated a “mining company” that claimed offices in Nairobi. The address was a residential apartment. The phone went to a prepaid SIM that was disconnected after we called. Company existed on paper only—complete fraud operation.

IS THERE A HISTORY OF FRAUD OR LITIGATION?

IS THERE A HISTORY OF FRAUD OR LITIGATION?

Court records tell the truth that people hide.

WE SEARCH:
✓ High Court, Land Court, Magistrate Court records
✓ Criminal records (where legally available)
✓ Bankruptcy filings and financial judgments
✓ Regulatory actions and business license issues
✓ Corruption allegations and investigations

WHY IT MATTERS:
34% of parties we investigate have undisclosed legal issues. Active lawsuits, fraud allegations, or regulatory problems that could sink your deal.

REAL EXAMPLE:
A “clean” business partner had 3 active lawsuits for non-payment and one settled fraud case he never disclosed. We found it by searching court records in 3 counties. Client walked away before signing partnership agreement.

WHO REALLY OWNS THIS COMPANY?

  • Shell companies hide the truth. We trace it back.

    WE UNCOVER:
    ✓ All shareholders and exact ownership percentages
     ✓ Company directors and their complete backgrounds
    ✓ Beneficial owners (the people behind the shell companies)
    ✓ Related companies and business networks
    ✓ Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and corruption risks
    ✓ Nominee directors hiding real controllers

    WHY IT MATTERS:
    Hidden ownership = hidden agendas. We’ve found sanctioned individuals, convicted fraudsters, and politically exposed persons hiding behind “clean” business fronts.

WILL THEY HONOR THEIR DEBTS?

  • Credit history reveals character more than promises do.

    WE ASSESS:

    ✓ Credit history and payment patterns

    ✓ Outstanding debts, loans, and liens
    ✓ History of defaults or bankruptcies
    ✓ Current financial obligations and capacity
    ✓ Tax compliance and arrears ✓ Utility bills and service payment history

    WHY IT MATTERS: Partnering with someone who doesn’t pay bills = guaranteed nightmare. We check so you don’t find out after signing.

WILL DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM HARM YOUR REPUTATION?

  • Your reputation took years to build. Don’t let a bad partner destroy it in months.

    WE ANALYZE:
    ✓ Online reputation (news, social media, review sites)
    ✓ Industry reputation through confidential interviews
    ✓ Past business partner experiences
    ✓ Customer complaints and unresolved disputes
    ✓ Public controversies, scandals, or negative press
    ✓ Professional standing and association memberships

    WHY IT MATTERS: Association = endorsement in the eyes of the public. If your partner has a bad reputation, you inherit it.
