Screening international partners and foreign-market conditions
A focused review of a foreign partner, intermediary, supplier or location — using local sources where business registers do not show the real picture.
When entering a new market or closing a cross-border deal, business registers often fail to show a partner's real influence, reputation and local connections. IVSR prepares a focused review of the prospective partner, intermediary, supplier or location.
Where needed, verification is coordinated with a network of vetted professionals in the country concerned — with a clearly documented mandate, purpose and data provenance.
Possible scope
The scope follows the questions the engagement must answer — not the other way round.
- 01Verification of business and personal connections across several countries.
- 02Review of local media, local-language sources, court publications and regulator announcements.
- 03Assessment of corruption, sanctions, political, security and reputational risks.
- 04Verification of the partner's claims and identification of data that could not be confirmed.
- 05Coordination of local checks under a documented mandate and purpose.
- 06Preparation of measures for a safer market entry.
You receive
A partner or market profile, a risk overview, warning signs, proposed protective measures and a plan for further verification.
Who it is for
For exporters, investors, international groups, law firms, compliance teams and public organizations with international projects.
