Vóór de handdruk: screen elke zakelijke partner
Fusies, overnames en joint ventures brengen buitenproportioneel compliancerisico met zich mee. Een partner met verborgen sanctieblootstelling, een PEP-verbonden bestuurslid of een ondoorzichtige eigendomsketen in een risicogebied kan een strategische deal omzetten in een handhavingsactie. ScreenVeritAI levert diepgaande due diligence over elke tegenpartij — UBO-grafieken, meertalige adverse media (negatieve berichtgeving) en sanctiescreening over elke grote sanctiebron — zodat uw dealteam het volledige beeld heeft voordat de term sheet wordt ondertekend.
Deal-room dashboard
p. 01 / 09Deal #2024-DEU-047 — a €45M acquisition, mid due diligence. Financial and legal are done. Compliance is where deals die.
Compliance screen in progress
Compliance — Layer 1 sanctions
p. 02 / 09The surface check comes back empty: the entity name matches nothing across 51 sanctions sources. That is the easy part, and the part that lulls buyers into signing.
6 of 6 lists clear · no direct sanctions matches on entity name
Note: surface-level check only · ownership layer analysis pending
Ownership — Layer 2 tracing
p. 03 / 09Corporate layers exist to obscure control. Four jurisdictions later the person behind the target comes into view, and every step of that chain carries the source URL it came from.
