Helpful answers / Due Diligence and Risk Management
“How can I check a potential business partner?”
Start with what you need to decide. Useful due diligence is guided by a question, not just a collection of search results.
Define the question before the search.
Consider the proposed relationship, the claims you want to understand, and the information that would affect your decision. Public-records and online research can then be scoped around those questions.
Build a useful research brief.
- Describe the relationshipExplain the proposed business arrangement and what is at stake for your organization.
- Identify the claimsList the information you want checked and why it matters to the decision.
- Keep sources and limits visibleDistinguish supported findings from unanswered questions. Similar names, old records, and incomplete sources need context.
