Counterparty & Third-Party Risk
Independent verification of clients, suppliers, and partners across your value chain.
- Counterparty & vendor screening
- Beneficial-ownership & control check
- Sanctions & adverse-exposure via ownership
- Operational-substance verification
If you need to trust who you’re working with
Every supplier, client, and partner you bring into your value chain carries risk you don’t fully control. A vendor with undisclosed owners, a distributor with sanctions proximity, a client whose business has no operational substance — problems that become yours the moment the contract is signed.
This service gives you an independent view of the entities in your chain before you commit — and on a periodic basis to keep that view current.
When clients come to us with this:
- Onboarding a new supplier, distributor, or client under compliance obligations.
- Re-screening existing counterparties on a periodic or triggered basis.
- Investigating a third party whose behaviour has raised concern.
- Verifying that a counterparty’s declared structure and ownership are accurate.
How we handle it
We screen each relevant entity and the individuals behind it — beneficial owners, directors, and connected parties — against sanctions and watchlists, including indirect exposure through ownership thresholds. We verify operational substance and identify structural or reputational issues that carry risk for you. Findings are delivered as a clear, sourced assessment tied to each entity.
What’s included
- Counterparty & vendor screening — pre-contract checks drawing on open, official, and licensed sources.
- Beneficial-ownership & control check — the real individuals behind the entity, through layered structures.
- Sanctions & adverse-exposure via ownership — indirect sanctions risk through ownership chains.
- Operational-substance verification — confirming the entity is what it claims to be.
