Inside the checklist
Ten questions. Six areas of risk.
The Pre-Deal Threat Checklist tests ten direct questions across the six core areas shown here. Download the PDF for the full questions, explanations and warning signs to consider before proceeding.
One hidden owner, undeclared relationship, criminal link or unexplained payment can change the entire risk of a deal.
Criminal and suspicious links
Whether the people, companies or intermediaries are connected to fraud, money laundering, organised crime or other suspicious activity.
Conflicts and concealed interests
Whether supposedly independent parties share undisclosed relationships or financial interests.
Claims and history
Whether claims and past business activity can be proved independently.
Funds and payments
Source of wealth, source of funds and whether the money follows the story.
A defensible decision
Whether the evidence supports the decision if it is later challenged.

IYE Global examines ownership, control, corporate history, business relationships, digital identifiers, financial interests and payment routes.
- Hidden owners and decision-makers
- Undeclared interests between parties
- Connections to fraud, organised crime or money laundering
- Claims that do not match independent evidence
- Unexplained sources or movements of money
- Information gaps that leave a decision difficult to defend
The purpose is not to produce more data.
It is to establish who is really involved, how they are connected and whether those connections change the risk.
One hidden link can change the whole deal.
See the network. Understand the threat. Defend the decision.
