Our Difference

Relying on reputation, a referral or a recommendation alone is no longer a sensible business strategy, even if you've spent time with a new business partner or deal team. Understanding the unvarnished picture of someone's background, as well his or her personality traits, is how smart investors look around corners to anticipate unseen risks and make better decisions.

In a turbulent world of economic fluctuations, the temptation to falsify earnings, overvalue assets, and otherwise 'cook the books' has increased exponentially. Unregulated and misunderstood financial vehicles are breeding grounds for theft, misappropriation and mismanagement.

In this environment where information can make or break a business decision, knowing who you are dealing with, along with what they do and how they do it, is paramount to prudent investment and hiring. It is critical to institute a robust due diligence requirement, or expand old practices to reflect the ever-growing risks and pitfalls that define the current business environment.
