Base44 provides cross-border fraud detection and investment verification for institutional investors.
When family offices, PE firms, and wealth advisors evaluate international investments, we answer the question traditional due diligence can't: Is this company actually real?
We deploy local investigators to physically verify what matters—customers, facilities, ownership—and deliver a clear verdict in 14 days.
Here's what happens in most cross-border deals:
A family office reviews a $20M acquisition target. Big 4 firm conducts due diligence. Financials look clean. Documents check out. Deal approved.
Six months later: The IP was transferred offshore before the sale. Core customers don't exist. Facility capacity was overstated by 70%.
$8M to $20M lost.
Big 4 firms review documents from conference rooms in New York or London. They verify documents are accurate. They don't verify documents are true.
We do.
We don't have permanent offices everywhere. That's expensive and slow.
Instead, we hire experienced local investigators for each deal. They speak the language, understand local business culture, and know how to verify what's real.
Every investigator follows the same protocol—our 44-Marker framework—so quality stays consistent regardless of market.
