Risk assessment and due diligence investigations

Before you get on the plane, you need to know how decisions are made and how the market really works – both in theory and in practice – in your target country and sector.
  • Who are the key figures?
  • What is their official mandate?
  • What do they really care about?
  • Do they have undeclared special interests that could affect their decisions?
  • Are they susceptible to bribes from your competitors?
  • And how far can you rely on your business partners to behave ethically

Control Risks’ suite of services ranges from the detailed country briefs available on our Country Risk Forecast online service to bespoke reports on individual companies and sectors.
