New market entry

We help our clients enter unfamiliar markets and identify suitable business partners. We do this by analysing local political, economic and security environments; contextualising regulatory policies, legislation, and government attitudes; evaluating stakeholder sentiment and perceptions; and collecting sector-specific intelligence. We situate our country risk analysis within a wider geo-political framework.
Complex commercial situations

We support our clients by providing intelligence in a range of complex commercial situations, to alert them to potential blind spots and to support successful negotiating strategies. We work transparently with our clients to fine-tune our approach to intelligence collection, working strictly in accordance with local and international laws and to the highest ethical standards.
Political risk monitoring

In situations of political turbulence overseas, such as regime change or a major government reshuffle, we enable our clients to act swiftly and decisively through the provision of timely intelligence assessments to support them through crises. We do this through the provision of daily intelligence summaries on the developing political and security situation, based on reliable open source information and intelligence from well-placed human sources. We also provide wider assessments of the backgrounds and leanings of individuals likely to take over power and how this could impact our client’s business model and operations.
