Strategic Business Intelligence

When investors enter new markets or face a rapidly changing regulatory landscape likely to affect existing operations, it is vital to know who to deal with, who to avoid and how the business climate is likely to evolve. Control Risks has over 30 years’ experience in delivering strategic business intelligence in developed, emerging and frontier markets.

We work in the most opaque jurisdictions in the world, unravelling the hidden threads linking politics to business and uncovering the relationships most likely to affect prospective and existing investors. Our ability to construct power-maps across entire business sectors enables our clients to evaluate the key influencers in government and business shaping the operating environment. We also monitor the content and progress of proposed legislation, providing real time analysis of potential ‘red lights’ and ‘green flags’ that might make or break a strategic investment decision.

Our expert analysts each bring a network of informed, well-placed in-country sources and long experience in navigating through quantities of local language data. The predictive insight they provide is based on reading often conflicting signals in an informed, balanced and nuanced fashion. Our unparalleled access and ability to frame the plays of individuals and business groups in the context of longer-term political-business trends sets Control Risks’ analytical team apart in our ability to service the most complex client requirements.
