Enhanced reports with risk analysis


This activity aims to get maximum information for decision making regarding collaboration with a customer, a supplier or a partner (Know Your Customer process). It aims especially to assess the potential risks of non-compliance with respect to international regulations and recommendations for combating money laundering and bribery of foreign public officials (US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, UK Bribery Act, OECD Convention, Law Sapin II,...). It can be also to monitor existing partnerships or to study a competitor.


Our reports aim to achieve the following:

  • Confirmation of the legal existence of the company
  • Providing legal corporate information and documents
  • Description of the activities of the company
  • Identification of customers, suppliers and business partners.
  • Identification of contracts and ongoing projects.
  • Identification of subsidiaries and sister companies.
  • Identification and profile of the directors and the main managers.
  • Identification of the shareholding structure (until the ultimate beneficiaries, as far as possible).
  • Identification of professional networks, institutional and political connections
  • Collection of information on the reputation of the company
  • Evaluation of media coverage
  • Collection of financial statements.
  • Comprehensive analysis with assessment of the potential risks


Our report are made from the following sources:

  • Legal information from official sources
  • Multilingual searches in open sources
  • Local and international databases and media sources
  • A site visit (depending on the location)
  • Contacts with local informal sources (business partners of the company, business circles, governmental agencies, experts, journalists...) 


The results depend on the country of registration of the company and the requested level of investigation. The means implemented can be relatively significant and are communicated in advance. ISIC has a network of business partners in many countries enabling it to offer reports almost worldwide. 

Reports go far beyond simple credit report and address major issues.


Providing corporate information and documents


ISIC asks and collects directly from official sources in each country, legal information and documents filled by companies. Our search require completion time to ensure getting up to date information. Depending on the country of registration and legal form of the company, we usually get the following:

  • Incorporation documents (Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, Amendements)
  • Certificate of registration
  • Minutes of the meeting of the board of directors and shareholders
  • Appointment and resignation of directors
  • Annual Return
  • Financial Statements

This is usually scanned copies of documents. Legal corporate information may also be available as extracts made by companies registration offices. Depending on country, we may request certified copies. Please note that the information and documents are in local language (sometimes in english). A summary in English can be performed by us or an official translation by an authorized officer may be requested (depending location).

ISIC provides all documents published since the incorporation of the company. However, if there is too much documents (over 100 pages), we limit ourselves to last years or the most significant documents or we charge extra fees, depending on customer choice.

Furthermore, we charge a minimum amount for the search if it turns out that the company was not identified in official registers and that no document could be collected.
