Due Diligence: The Office Doesn’t Exist

Arcane was approached by an international financial services company. The firm received several tempting investments offers from firms in South and North America. However, a lack of essential information about the companies and their owners led to hesitancy. One particular company in Belize caught our client’s attention, but the client needed more than just a standard economic feasibility diagram; they needed to be sure they were making a safe investment.

Our investigation began at the company’s headquarters in Belize, where we delved into the shareholders, and the nature of the business, along with its reputation, proficiency, and past. Our next challenge became uncovering information about their offshore branch. Through a field operation using special agents, our informants reached the alleged office of the firm, to discover there was no physical office, employees, or official licensing. The official documents, financial reports, and information about the real shareholders we obtained enabled our client to make an informed decision, preventing severe financial damages.
