Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Is document analysis enough?
No. In markets like Ethiopia or Kenya, much vital information exists outside of digital systems. To get the full picture, it is essential to verify facts through direct contact and local networking.
How long does the verification process take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the project and how many entities need checking, but a standard due diligence check on a single partner typically takes two to three weeks.
What format will I receive upon completion?
I provide a concise PDF report covering all verified facts, data cross-referencing results, and my professional recommendations for your business.
