Due Diligence & Background Checks in Hong Kong
Verification & Due Diligence in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is the traditional gateway to China and still a substantial private banking centre. Its economy runs on banking, trade finance, shipping, art and auctions, and the members we look after here are typically trading families and principals with China facing interests.
What you need to know about a counterparty before the second meeting. We verify identity, corporate record, litigation history and reputation through documented sources, and tell you what could not be established as clearly as what could.
Practically, a large international airport with an established business aviation presence, and the auction calendar brings a great deal of this work with it.
Most of what we arrange here runs between Hong Kong and India. That means one desk holding both ends, so nothing is lost between an adviser there and a counterparty here, and neither side is left waiting on the other's working hours.
Held locally
How this works in Hong Kong.
- Requests from Hong Kong reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
- Every check is lawful and the subject is never approached.
- Where something cannot be arranged in Hong Kong on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.

Verification & Due Diligence in Hong Kong, without the theatre.
What can be verified about a counterparty in Hong Kong?

How long does a check on a Hong Kong business take?
It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.
Is the subject told they are being checked?
Discretion is the default. Nothing about the arrangement is shared beyond the people carrying it out, and nothing is disclosed to a counterparty without your instruction.
