Independent verification of a person's claimed source of wealth, for family offices, investors, and individuals entering a significant financial relationship.
Family offices vetting an investment partner, individuals entering a serious relationship with someone whose wealth does not quite add up, and businesses accepting significant capital from a new investor all face the same underlying question: does the explanation given for this person's wealth actually hold up against independent sources, or is it simply the explanation that was given. Taking that explanation on trust, without verification, is a common way for fraud, undisclosed liabilities, or reputational risk to surface only after the relationship is already committed.
An independently verified assessment of a named individual's claimed source of wealth, cross-referencing corporate, property and public record sources against the explanation given, with a clear finding on whether the picture holds together.
Business interests and directorships checked against claimed income sources
Property and asset holdings consistent, or inconsistent, with claimed wealth
Offshore structures and their disclosed or undisclosed purpose
Sanctions, adverse media and regulatory history
A clear, sourced conclusion on whether the claimed source of wealth is verifiable
Corporate registry and property record analysis, sanctions and adverse media screening, and cross-referencing of claimed income sources against independently verifiable filings, with every finding verified by a named analyst before it is reported.
No, it is equally common in personal contexts: family offices vetting an investment partner, and individuals seeking clarity before a serious financial commitment to a relationship.
That is reported plainly as an inconclusive or unverified finding, which is itself valuable information for the decision in front of you.
Yes, through our Source of Wealth Monitoring subscription, which keeps this picture current for the life of an ongoing investment or relationship.
No. The report is built from publicly available information and lawfully obtained records, without the subject's knowledge or participation.

Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
