What is international due diligence?
International due diligence is all about mitigating risk when working with partners overseas; by performing a series of due diligence checks, you can be sure that your investment is safe. The information gathered during a due diligence investigation, which can include financial records and legal information, allows you to make an informed decision about the future of working with these international associates.
The importance of due diligence
Choosing to work with the wrong people can cost you both financially, and in terms of your mental health. But how do you know who to trust? Due diligence ensures that you’ve done all you can to stay successful and lucrative, and avoid the pitfalls of getting involved with partners who aren’t as squeaky clean as they might say they are. With assets at stake, you’ll want to be sure that the partnerships you enter into are economically, legally, and financially sound.
If you have reason to believe that your life is being watched, and you want to be certain, then you should call UK Private Investigators immediately.
The benefits of due diligence investigations
Our private investigators are well versed in the most common types of bugging technologies such as Acoustic Bugs, Ultrasonic or VHF Bugs, Radio Frequency Bugs and Optical Bugs. Our technicians use electronic equipment to detect any transmitters that may have been planted in your home, office, vehicles, or on your person.
Peace of mind
Protecting your assets and your reputation is vital, and due diligence means you can enter into partnership with confidence that these two elements of your business are safeguarded.
Fraud prevention
Suspicious activities are a red flag that, if ignored, could leave you open to fraud. A due diligence investigation will make you aware of these.
Compliance with regulations
Both parties are likely to have legal or regulatory obligations, and in many cases, due diligence can help meet these.
Improved grounds for negotiation
Knowledge is power, so they say, and this is always the case in business; knowing the position of your potential partner can make negotiations easier to handle.

Some of our Private investigator services
Know Your Customer check
However, a know your customer check is an initial step taken when your business interacts with another; it’s simply to verify that they are who they say they are. KYC checks, as they’re known, are often a legal requirement.
Customer due diligence
Customer due diligence, on the other hand, is similar, but is ultimately an ongoing process, whereby a customer’s behaviour and risk to you is regularly monitored
Signs you may be being watched
It’s important to remain aware of the telltale signs of a device in your home, office, or car. These include:
- Unexpected sounds or voices in your home, such as faint noises, clicks, or beeps with no apparent source, which could be a sign of a hidden listening device
- Unusual interference on your electronic devices, such as static, buzzing, or clicking sounds, especially when on a call
- Rapid battery drain on your phone, suggesting that your phone activity is being monitored
- Unexplained changes in the position of items within your home or office could indicate that your belongings have been tampered with to hide a device
- Flickering or unusual light indicators on devices; some hidden cameras or microphones may have tiny LED indicators
