Company Search and Due Diligence

Company search and due diligence assesses corporate identity, filings and selected risk indicators before a transaction. A public registry search is an input to diligence, not proof that a company has no debt, dispute or compliance problem. The depth should match the proposed decision.

Master data can help identify status and filing history, but a financial review requires accounts and other evidence. For a proposed supplier or investment, list the unanswered commercial questions and request supporting records. Clearly label findings based only on publicly available information.

Public master data is a starting point rather than proof of solvency, ownership of every asset or the absence of disputes.

• Verify entity identity, status, directors and filed corporate records.
• Compare capital, charges and available accounts with transaction information.
• Prepare a findings note with evidence limitations and follow-up requests.

• Company name or CIN
• Transaction purpose
• Known filings
• Counterparty questions

These records support the initial assessment. The final submission checklist follows the applicant, activity and current official instructions.

An inactive charge entry may need explanation from the lender and company. Treat the discrepancy as a diligence question rather than assuming a registry entry settles the debt position.

The scope and fee for Company Search and Due Diligence depend on entities searched, record depth and transaction-specific follow-up. BIAT can prepare a proposal after reviewing the relevant records and unresolved questions.

The preparation plan should identify the evidence gaps described above, who resolves them and which external reviews are needed. Separate BIAT professional fees from official charges, testing, certification or local professional costs where applicable. External approval and assessment time depends on the relevant authority or independent body.
