Background checks aren’t just for employees. Conducting background checks and due diligence on companies with whom a partnership may be launched is the key to maintaining trust and a healthy reputation. Background checks can also assist in business decision-making, as well as investment decisions. Due diligence checklists should include identification of leaders, head office checks, negative media reporting, checks on politically exposed persons lists and state-owned entities lists, financial results and balance sheets, and analysis of other available data.
