Due Diligence

Concentric works across all sectors and industries to deliver high-quality research and assistance through assessments of companies, executives, partners, competitors, and more.

Our core services include due diligence on potential investments and M&A deals, helping clients gain a deeper understanding of the target company and its leadership, as well as its prospects, trends, and competitive position.

Our investigators zero in on the company’s risks and advantages, reputation, strengths and weaknesses, management team, and corporate culture, among other areas of interest to our clients.

We enhance our research through in-depth interviews with sources that include former employees, competitors, industry experts, and customers. Concentric also assists clients engaged in proxy fights by vetting boards, management, and activists.

Concentric supports client decisionmaking by giving investors an informed understanding of their current and potential business relationships.

Through a combination of public records searches and interviews with primary sources, Concentric’s pre-employment diligence and background investigations provide an in-depth review of senior executives, partners, and third-party agents, as well as suppliers, distributors, and vendors.

Such diligence has allowed us to identify and mitigate potential risks for investors, including reputational risks, as they consider new business relationships.

We complement this research by interviewing off-list references who can provide insights on a person’s character and background. In cases where a position may have access to sensitive information or assets, our former CIA or FBI polygraphers can interview the candidate, which can help clarify any questions or concerns emerging from the background investigation.

Our team of investigators and subject matter experts — operating in the United States and globally — are well equipped to respond to client requests at a moment’s notice.

We conduct research on a variety of topics tailored to investors’ needs, from questions about the competitive or regulatory landscape in a specific industry to others concerning market entry or the supply chain in a targeted region of the world.

Concentric has operated in more than 150 countries and leverages a global network of partners to deliver high-quality products for our clients.

Our team speaks a combined 13 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, and Farsi, enabling us to identify sources and conduct interviews in local languages
