Before entering a partnership, hiring a key person or bringing in an investor – make sure reality matches the picture being presented.
In business, decisions are built on trust. But trust without verification is a risk. We regularly see cases where key individuals have exaggerated their experience, hidden debts, connections to criminal networks or previous bankruptcies.
A background check gives you the foundation you need to make informed decisions – whether it concerns a new CEO, a business partner, a supplier or a potential investor.
Identity, address and civil status
Financial history – debts, payment defaults, bankruptcies
Criminal record and legal proceedings
Company engagements, board positions and ownership structures
Education, certifications and professional verification
The scope is adapted to your needs and the role the person will fill in your organisation.
We combine register checks with analytical work and, when needed, field verification to give you a complete and reliable picture.
Systematic review of Swedish and international registers: company registers, credit reports, court documents, debt balances and historical engagements.
In-depth analysis of open sources – social media, media archives, industry publications and digital footprints. We look for patterns and connections the registers don't show.
Verification of stated references, education and certifications. We confirm that claims are actually true – discreetly and without revealing the purpose.
We map the person's business and personal network. What connections exist? Is there risk of conflicts of interest, political exposure (PEP) or sanctions listing?
When needed, we run checks against international databases, sanctions lists and registers. Particularly relevant for cross-border business and foreign counterparties.
All information is compiled in a structured report with risk assessment, source references and our recommendations.
We discuss what type of check you need, who it concerns and in what context. Based on this, we tailor the scope.
We collect the information you have about the person and supplement with our own searches in registers and open sources.
All information is analysed, cross-referenced and verified. We identify anomalies, risks and potential warning signs.
You receive a professional report with clear risk assessment. We are available for follow-up questions and additions.
Background checks are conducted within the framework of GDPR and Swedish data protection law. We process personal data with proportionality and purpose limitation – we only collect what is relevant and necessary for your assessment.
Checks of public registers and databases, OSINT analysis, verification of stated credentials, network and ownership analysis, credit reports via authorised channels.
Intrusion into private accounts, unlawful wiretapping, collection of information lacking relevance to the assessment, actions violating GDPR or data protection law.
The report can be used internally as a decision-making basis and can, if needed, supplement legal processes or due diligence documentation.
Standard checks are normally delivered within 3–5 business days. More extensive investigations with international elements may take longer. We always communicate expected delivery time in advance.
Yes. We have access to international registers and databases and regularly conduct checks on individuals and companies abroad.
It depends on the context. For recruitment, consent is normally required. For commercial due diligence using only public data, it is generally not. We advise you in each individual case.
